A delightful Latin American cake soaked in a trio of milks, featuring a moist and creamy texture with a sweet flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Whipped cream for topping
  • Cherries for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
  3. Cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
  4. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla.
  5. Combine the flour mixture gradually with the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
  6. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Cool the cake completely in the baking dish.
  8. Prepare the milk mixture by whisking together evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and heavy cream.
  9. Soak the cooled cake with the milk mixture, allowing it to absorb for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
  10. Top with whipped cream and garnish with cherries before serving.

Notes

For best flavor, let the cake soak overnight in the milk mixture.
