Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 17

Butter to grease the pan
1 ¼ cup All Purpose Flour (sifted (plus extra for dusting pan))
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt*
1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled (1 stick))
1 cup sugar
5 whole eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 can condensed milk NESTLE LA LECHERA (14oz)
1 can Evaporated milk CARNATION (12oz)
1 cup of Heavy Heavy whipping or 1 can of "Media Crema Nestle"
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
4 Tablespoons rum or brandy (optional)
1 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream (the one you buy at the dairy fridge section)
4 Tablespoons of sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Canned fruit like peaches (mangos or fresh fruit like strawberries and kiwis. If using fruit to decorate, add just before serving.)

Steps:

  • Turn the oven to 325 degrees F. Make sure to adjust the oven rack to the middle position. grease and flour a 13-by-9 inch pan and set aside. For a taller cake, use an 8 x 8-inch pan. Set it aside. If you check the pictures, this cake is not tall.
  • Place flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium-size bowl and whisk together to mix.
  • With an electric mixer, beat the eggs one by one on a medium speed, for about 45-60 seconds, and slowly add the sugar as in a light dusting, until all sugar is incorporated. The egg mix will be very fluffy and be turning a light yellow.
  • Reduce speed of mixer, and slowly add the melted butter, little bit little, and then the vanilla. Keep the mixer running in low. (The butter HAS to be melted and cool if not, it will flatten your bubbles, meaning flat cake)
  • Add the flour in batches (spoon by spoon) and gently fold with a spatula until well combined. DO NOT OVER MIX.
  • Transfer batter to your prepared pan using a rubber spatula to help you spread the evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until cake looks light golden or a wooden toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the cake.
  • Remove the cake and transfer to a wired rack to cool completely. Poke the top of the cake using a toothpick, skewer or fork all over.

Categories     Dessert

Time 45m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup white sugar
5 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups whole milk
2 (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
1 (10 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour one 9x13 inch baking pan.
  • 2. Sift flour and baking powder together and set aside.
  • 3. Cream butter or margarine and the 1 cup sugar together until fluffy. Add eggs and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract; beat well.
  • 4. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture 2 tablespoons at a time; mix until well blended. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  • 5. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes. Pierce cake all over with a fork.
  • 6. Combine the whole milk, condensed milk, and evaporated milk together. Pour over the top of the cooled cake. Be careful to not over do it since you should have some left over that you will not need. I recommend placing the cake in the fridge for one hour and letting it soak up the milk before adding the whip cream mixture.
  • 7. Whip whipping cream, the remaining 1 cup of the sugar, and the remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla extract together until thick. You are going to need an electric mixer for this. Spread over the top of cake and refrigerate overnight, enjoy!
