Instructions

  1. Gather the ingredients.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  3. Sift flour and baking powder together; set aside.
  4. Beat sugar and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until lighter in color and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. Add flour mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time, mixing until well blended.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Pierce cake all over with a fork; let cool to room temperature.

  8. Pour the whole milk, condensed milk, and evaporated milk mixture over the top of the cooled cake and allow to soak in.
