Equipment

  • Electric hand mixer
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Rectangular Baking Pan
  • Fork or Skewer
  • Measuring Cups
  • Rubber spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR
  • 5 large EGGS
  • 1 cup GRANULATED SUGAR
  • 1 1/2 tsp BAKING POWDER
  • 1/4 cup WHOLE MILK
  • 1 can EVAPORATED MILK
  • 1 can SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK
  • 1 cup HEAVY CREAM
  • 1 tsp VANILLA EXTRACT
  • 1/4 tsp SALT

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit right now. Grease your baking pan with a little bit of butter. This prevents the cake from sticking to the sides.
  • Beat the eggs and sugar in a large bowl. Use your mixer until the mix is very thick. It should look pale yellow and very fluffy now.
  • Gently fold in the flour and the baking powder. Use a spatula so you do not pop the bubbles. This keeps your sponge cake very light and airy.
  • Pour the batter into your pan and bake it. Cook for twenty-five minutes until it is golden brown. Let the cake cool down on the counter fully.
  • Whisk the three milks and vanilla in a bowl. Poke many holes in the cake with a fork. Pour the milk mix over the cake slowly.
  • Place the cake in the fridge for four hours. Whip the heavy cream and spread it on top. Slice the cake and serve it very cold today.

Notes

  • Beat the eggs until they are very thick.
  • Fold the flour in very gently by hand.
  • Poke many holes all over the cool cake.
  • Let the cake soak for at least four hours.
  • Use a pan with high sides for milk.
  • Keep the cake cold until you serve it.
  • Top with cinnamon for a very classic look.
  • Slice with a wet knife for clean edges.
