Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 ½ Cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 Tsp Baking Powder
  • ½ Tsp Salt
  • 3 Eggs, Large
  • 1 Cup Sugar
  • 2 Tsp Vanilla Extract
  • ½ Cup Whole Milk
  • 1 ½ Cups Heavy Cream
  • 12 oz Evaporated Milk
  • 1 Cinnamon Stick
  • 2 Cloves, Whole
  • 14 oz Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • ½ Tsp Ground Cinnamon

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly butter a 9x13in baking dish. In a medium bowl whisk the flour with the baking soda and salt. Beat the eggs with sugar and 1 Tsp vanilla until very light and fluffy, about 10min.
  2. Add half of the flour mixture and mix at low speed until just incorporated. Gradually add the whole milk, then mix in remaining flour mixture.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 25min, or until the center of the cake springs back to the touch. Transfer the baking dish to a rack and let cake cool for 30min.
  4. In medium saucepan, whisk the cream with the evaporated milk, cinnamon stick, and cloves. Then bring to boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for 3min. Remove from heat, cover, and let steep for 10min.
  5. Combine condensed milk with remaining 1 Tsp vanilla and ground cinnamon. Train steeped cream mixture into condensed milk and stir to combine. Let cool for 20min.
  6. Poke holes in cake, pour milk mixture over cake. Refrigerate 20min.
