cake flour

🥗Healthier: all-purpose flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

All-purpose flour is more accessible and can be used as a substitute.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Prepare a 12-inch by 8-inch by 2-inch aluminum baking pan by greasing it with non-stick spray.

In a mixing bowl, melt 4 tablespoons of butter in the microwave for about 30 seconds and let it cool to room temperature.

In a separate bowl, combine 6 medium eggs and 1 cup of granulated sugar, then add 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon of almond emulsion.

Using a whisk, beat the egg mixture until it doubles in size and lightens in color.

Gradually add 2 cups of cake flour, one tablespoon at a time, at the lowest speed of the mixer to maintain air in the mixture.

Once the flour is incorporated, add the melted butter slowly to the mixture and mix until combined.

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

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

While the cake is baking, prepare the three milks mixture by combining 1 can of evaporated milk, 1 can of sweetened condensed milk, and fill the evaporated milk can with fresh milk, adding a splash of vanilla extract.

After 30 minutes, check the cake; if it looks nice and golden, remove it from the oven.

While the cake is still warm, poke holes all over the surface with a fork and let it rest for about 15 to 30 minutes.

Pour the entire three milks mixture over the warm cake, allowing it to soak in completely.

The next day, prepare the topping by mixing 32 ounces of heavy whipping cream with 1 box of vanilla pudding until firm peaks form.

Spread the whipped cream mixture evenly over the soaked cake and sprinkle a little cinnamon on top.

Garnish with cherries before serving.
