Ingredients

For the Cake

5 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar (200g)
2 cups all-purpose flour (240g)
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup whole milk (120ml)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

For the Milk Syrup

1 can (14 oz / 400g) sweetened condensed milk
1 can (12 oz / 350ml) evaporated milk
⅔ cup whole milk (160ml)

For the Whipped Topping

2 cups heavy whipping cream (480ml)
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Fresh berries

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
Make the cake:
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with a hand or stand mixer on high speed until thick and pale, about 5–6 minutes.
Gently fold in the flour mixture. Add milk and vanilla extract, and mix just until combined.
Bake:
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 28–30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely in the pan.
Make the syrup:
In a bowl or measuring jug, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and whole milk. Poke the cooled cake all over with a fork, then slowly pour the syrup evenly over the top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Make the whipped cream:
Beat heavy cream and powdered sugar together until soft peaks form. Spread over the chilled cake.
Garnish:
Top with fresh berries just before serving.
