Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease and flour a rectangular baking dish.

In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.

In a separate bowl, beat eggs and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.

Add vanilla extract and mix well.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, mixing until just combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.

In a bowl, whisk together milk, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, coffee, and cocoa powder until smooth.

Poke holes in the cooled cake using a skewer or fork.

Slowly pour the milk mixture over the cake, allowing it to soak in.

In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.

Spread the whipped cream over the soaked cake and garnish with chocolate shavings and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
