Equipment

  • 9" x 13" baking pan greased and floured

Ingredients

  • 1 cups all-purpose flour
  • tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 cup white sugar or the equivalent amount of Splenda for reduced calories
  • 5 eggs
  • cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract we prefer real over imitation
  • 1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 9 fluid ounce can evaporated milk
  • cup heavy whipping cream

Topping

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp white sugar or the equivalent amount of Splenda for reduced calories
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract we prefer real over imitation
  • 1 lb strawberries stems removed and sliced thinly
  • 2 cups blueberries
  • 3 kiwis
  • 1 cup cherry juice optional

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven or cooking hearth to 350 °F (175 °C).
  • Separate the egg yolks and whites.
  • Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Beat the egg yolks with 3/4 cup sugar for a few minutes then stir in the milk and vanilla.
  • Whip the egg whites until they start to froth, then pour in 1/4 cup sugar and beat until you approach a meringue-like consistency.
  • Fold the egg yolk mixture into the flour and combine.
  • Fold in the egg white mixture. Don't overmix here, get it just barely mixed.
  • Pour into your baking pan and bake for 30 minutes until the top is a golden brown. Aerate the surface with a few pokes of a sword, dagger, or fork.
  • Mix the condensed milk, evaporated milk, and cream then pour about half of the mix evenly over the cake.
  • Refrigerate the cake and milk mix for 1 hour. Meanwhile, combine the cream, sugar, and vanilla from the topping ingredients and beat until thick. Put this mixture into the fridge until the hour is up.
  • Pour the remaining half of the milk mixture over the cake. Then apply an even layer of the whipped cream on top.
  • Layer with your fruits, or leave them out in bowls for your party to grab as they please. Drizzle with cherry juice for an extra touch.
  • Get back to adventuring!

Notes

This cake is such a fun mix of fluffy and soaked. We've never had a soaked cake before but it was amazing! Don't be afraid if it seems soggy compared to what you're used to, that's the goal! The fruit adds a fun variety to the flavor and texture so get inventive with what fruits you prefer and try different variations!
