Creamy Milk Cake

Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup whole milk (warm)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Creamy Milk Mixture:

  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream

For the Whipped Topping:

  • 1 cup heavy cream (cold)
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Make the Cake:
    • In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
    • In another large bowl, beat eggs and sugar using an electric mixer for about 5 minutes, until thick and pale.
    • Add vanilla extract.
    • Gently fold in the dry ingredients.
    • Add warm milk and mix just until combined.
    • Pour into the prepared dish and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  3. Prepare the Milk Soak:
    • In a bowl, combine evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream. Mix well.
  4. Soak the Cake:
    • Once the cake has cooled slightly, poke holes all over with a fork or skewer.
    • Slowly pour the milk mixture over the cake, letting it soak in.
    • Refrigerate for at least 3 hours (preferably overnight).
  5. Make the Whipped Topping:
    • Beat heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
    • Spread over the chilled, soaked cake.
  6. Serve:
    • Slice and serve cold. Optionally, garnish with cinnamon, chopped nuts, or fresh fruit.
