FOR THE CAKE:
5 whole Eggs
3/4 cups Sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1/2 cups Melted Butter That's Been Cooled
1-1/2 cup Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoons Salt
1-1/2 can (14 Oz. Size) Sweetened Condensed Milk

1
For the cake:
2
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F (176u00b0C). Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
3
In a large bowl, add eggs, sugar and vanilla. Use an electric mixer and mix on high for about 3 minutes. It will become pale and thick. Add the melted butter and flour. Before mixing, directly on top of the flour, add the baking powder and salt. With a spoon, mix the dry ingredients together first just to disperse the salt and baking powder into the flour. Then mix to combine but don't over-mix.
4
Pour batter into the baking dish and bake until a fork inserted in the center comes out clean, approximately 25 minutes (if using a metal baking dish it may be done much sooner).
5
While the cake is in the oven take a medium bowl and whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and the whole milk.
6
Right when the cake comes out of the oven, poke the top of it many times with a fork and then pour the milk mixture over the whole cake. The milks will become absorbed. Allow cake to cool before topping with whipped cream.
7
While cake is cooling, prepare whipped cream by pouring heavy cream into a medium/large bowl. Add the sugar. Mix with an electric mixer until you start forming stiff peaks. Spread whipped cream over the top of the cake, cut yourself a piece, and enjoy!
