Mix the ingredients until well combined.

Pour the cake batter into a baking dish.

Bake the cake in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Let the cake cool after baking.

In a separate bowl, mix together the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and whole milk until it looks like caramel.

Cut small holes in the cooled cake to allow the milk mixture to soak in.

Pour the milk mixture evenly throughout the cake.

Place the cake in the fridge for 2 hours to soak up the milk mixture.

Make the meringue topping by mixing heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until combined.

Pour the meringue topping onto the cake, even though it may be a little liquidy.
