In a bowl, mix cake flour, salt, and baking powder.

In a separate bowl, add melted butter and whisk with a mixer.

Slowly add sugar to the butter and mix for about 3 minutes.

Add whole eggs one at a time, mixing until well combined.

Add vanilla extract and mix well.

Add half of the flour mixture and combine with a spatula.

Add 1/2 cup of whole milk and mix for about 30 seconds.

Add the rest of the flour and mix well.

Spray a 9x1 baking tray with nonstick cooking oil or use butter/oil if unavailable.

Pour the batter into the tray and spread evenly.

Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes at 350°F.

Check if it's done by inserting a toothpick; if it comes out clean, it's ready.

If not, put it back in the oven for a few minutes.

Once baked, cool the cake for about 30 minutes.

Make small holes in the cake using a fork.

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

Slowly pour the milk mixture over the cake, ensuring it absorbs the milk.

Make more milk mixture if necessary to fully soak the cake.

In a bowl, add heavy cream and sugar, whisk until soft peaks form.

Pour the whipped cream on top of the cake and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.
