Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish.

Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl until combined.

In another bowl, beat eggs and sugar until fluffy and pale.

Add melted butter and vanilla extract to the egg mixture, mixing well.

Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients until just mixed.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.

Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.

In a separate bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and whole milk.

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

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

Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

Before serving, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.

Spread the whipped cream over the top of the cake and garnish with fruit.
