Let’s get started with the ingredients and the step-by-step process to make this decadent dessert!
Ingredients:
For the cake:
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup sugar (200 grams)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup flour (120 grams)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- A pinch of salt
For soaking the cake:
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup liquid whipping cream
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk (or regular milk)
For the white cream topping:
- 1 1/2 cups cold whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For decoration:
- Caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare the Cake:
Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 20×30 cm (8×12 inches) baking pan with butter and dust it lightly with flour.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract for 4-5 minutes until the mixture becomes creamy and fluffy. Then, gently add the oil and mix it in smoothly.
Sift the flour with the baking powder and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, folding them in gently to avoid overmixing.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Once the cake is out of the oven, let it cool slightly. Then, poke holes all over the cake using a fork or wooden skewer to help it absorb the milk mixture later.
2. Prepare the Milk Mixture:
In a bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk (or regular milk), and whipping cream.
Gradually pour this mixture over the entire cake, ensuring that it soaks evenly. Cover the pan and refrigerate the cake for at least 3 hours or preferably overnight to allow the cake to absorb all the milk flavors.
3. Prepare the White Cream Topping:
In a chilled bowl, whip the cold whipping cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract using an electric mixer until it forms stiff peaks and the texture becomes thick and creamy.
Spread the whipped cream evenly over the entire surface of the cake using a spatula for a smooth finish.
4. Decoration:
Using your caramel sauce, drizzle lines or patterns on top of the whipped cream to give it a decorative touch. You can create fun swirls or a simple crosshatch pattern as seen in the picture!
Place the cake in the fridge for another hour before serving to allow the flavors to set, and then it’s ready to enjoy.
