  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup evaporated milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking dish.

  6. Bake the batter in the prepared dish for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Create a milk mixture by combining sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk in a separate bowl.
  8. Soak the cake with the milk mixture after it cools for 10 minutes; poke holes and allow it to chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  9. Decorate the top with whipped cream and garnish with fresh fruit if desired before serving.
