Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients and measure them out.
- Ensure eggs are at room temperature.
Baking the Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with whole milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for about 25-30 minutes.
- Check if done by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.
Cooling and Soaking
- Once baked, let the cake cool completely in the pan.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and whole milk.
- Poke holes in the cooled cake with a skewer and pour the milk mixture evenly over the top.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.
Topping and Serving
- Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
- Spread or pipe whipped cream on top of the chilled cake.
- Garnish with chocolate shavings or cocoa powder.
- Slice and serve the cake.
Notes
This cake is best made the day before serving to enhance flavor. Avoid skipping the soaking step for the best results.
