I love this cake, the sweetness is almost over powering, but not totally over the top.
Ingredients
- For the cake: shopping list
- 6 3/4 oz cake flour shopping list
- 1 tablespoon baking powder shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon salt shopping list
- 4 oz butter room temperature shopping list
- 8 oz sugar shopping list
- 1 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract shopping list
- 5 whole eggs room temperature shopping list
- For the filling: shopping list
- 1 can evaporated milk shopping list
- 1 can condensed milk shopping list
- 1 cup of heavy cream shopping list
- For the whip topping: shopping list
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract shopping list
- 8 oz sugar shopping list
- 2 cups heavy cream shopping list
How to make it
- For the cake: Preheat over to 350. Sift the dry, set aside.
- Cream the butter and sugar until smooth. Add in the vanilla, and mix until incorporated. Add in eggs one at a time, beating at medium speed. It will almost look as though its broken. Scrape sides of bowl to make sure everything is incorporated and beat well. Batter will be very wet.
- On low speed, add dry in thirds, mixing each addition thoroughly, but not over mixing.
- You can use any pan for this, I like to use my 13x9, buttered, and lightly floured.
- Pour batter into pan, shake pan to make sure its even.
- Place into oven for about 20-30 minutes, after about 15 min, rotate the pan. Your looking for a golden brown color, and when you insert a tooth pick, for it to be clean.
- Once cake is done immediately prick several holes into the cake with chop sticks or skewers.
- You can make the filling while the cake is baking also, just combine the condensed milk, with the evaporated milk and cream, mix well.
- Pour the filling evenly over the cake while it's still hot.
- Whip together the cream, sugar and vanilla until you have soft peaks, you want more of a frosting vs. a whip cream.
- Once cake is cooled spread frosting on top, either serve it room temp or chill and serve it.
- Garnish with cherries, or make a little caramel sauce to go along with it
