Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 can evaporated milk
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix until just combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is still warm, poke holes all over the top with a fork.
- In a bowl, whisk together the whole milk, evaporated milk, and sweetened condensed milk. Pour evenly over the warm cake, allowing it to soak in completely.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use Mexican crema instead of whole milk. You can also add a layer of whipped cream and berries before serving.
