Ingredients

Units Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 1/2 cups Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 4 large Eggs
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 can (14 oz) Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

For Topping

  • Caramel Sauce (for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). This ensures that your cake bakes evenly and rises beautifully.
  2. Prepare the Cake Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the milk and vanilla extract. Combine the wet and dry ingredients until smooth.
  3. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into a greased baking pan and smooth the top. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  4. Create the Milk Mixture: While the cake is baking, mix the heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, and any leftover milk in a separate bowl. This mixture will soak into the cake, making it incredibly moist.
  5. Soak the Cake: Once the cake is baked and cooled, poke holes all over the surface using a fork. Pour the milk mixture evenly over the cake, allowing it to soak in completely.
  6. Add Caramel and Chill: Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top of the cake and refrigerate for at least two hours before serving. This helps the flavors meld together and makes it even more delicious.

Notes

  • Donโ€™t Rush the Soaking: Allowing the cake to soak properly in the milk mixture is key to achieving that moist texture.
  • Use Quality Ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the more flavorful your cake will be.
  • Chill Before Serving: Serving the cake cold enhances its flavors and makes it more refreshing.
  • Experiment with Flavors: Donโ€™t hesitate to play around with different flavors and toppings to make the cake your own.
  • Keep it Covered: Store leftover cake covered to prevent it from drying out.
