1 cup all-purpose flour
-
1 ½ tsp baking powder
-
¼ tsp salt
-
3 large eggs
-
¾ cup granulated sugar
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
½ cup whole milk
-
2 tbsp melted butter
For the milk soak:

-
½ cup heavy cream
-

For the topping:

1 cup whipped cream (or whipped topping)
-
Sprinkle of cinnamon (optional)
-
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour an 8×8-inch baking dish.
-
Make the cake batter:
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until thick and pale, about 3–5 minutes. Stir in the vanilla.
Gently fold in the dry ingredients, then mix in the milk and melted butter until just combined. -
Bake the cake:
Pour the batter into the prepared dish and bake for about 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes. -
Prepare the milk soak:
In a bowl, whisk together the milk, sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. -
Soak the cake:
Poke holes all over the slightly warm cake using a fork or skewer. Slowly pour the milk mixture evenly over the cake, letting it soak in. -
Chill and top:
Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours (the longer, the better). Before serving, spread whipped cream over the top and sprinkle with a little cinnamon if you like. -
Tip:
For an extra creamy touch, you can drizzle a little extra sweetened condensed milk over each slice before serving. Pure heaven!
