For the Whipped Cream Topping:

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Prepare Cake Batter:

    • Gradually fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture until well incorporated.
  3. Bake the Cake:

    • In a bowl, whisk together evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and whole milk.
    • Pour the milk mixture evenly over the warm cake. Let it absorb fully (refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight).
