Cook time: 25 min
Total time: 1 h 10 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Tex-Mex
Ingredients: 1 ½ cups cake flour, plus extra to dust the pan; 1 teaspoon baking powder; ½ teaspoon salt; 4 ounces butter, at room temperature; 1 cup plus 1 tabblespoon sugar; 5 eggs; 1 tablespoon vanilla; 1 can evaporated milk (12 ounces); 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 ounces); 1 cup half and half; 2 cups heavy cream; 1 cup sugar; 1 teaspoon vanilla

1

Preheat oven to 350º. Grease and flour, or use Baker's Joy, to coat a 9 x 13 pan.

2

Whisk together dry ingredients and set aside.

3

Using the paddle attachment of a stand mixer, beat butter until fluffy on medium speed. Decrease to low and add sugar slowly. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing until well combined. Add vanilla and mix.

4

Add dry ingredients in three batches and mix till just incorporated. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Smooth top. Bake in the middle of your oven for 20-25 minutes.

5

Remove and cool for a half hour. Poke the top of the cake with a fork or skewer. Allow the cake to completely cool.

6

Make the glaze by whisking the milks and half and half. Slowly pour over the cake and refrigerate overnight. I did not use the last ¼ cup of glaze so that it all absorbed.

7

Before serving, make the topping by whipping heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla until the mixture thickens and stiff peaks form. Spread topping over cake and refrigerate until serving.

8

May garnish with sliced strawberries.
