heavy cream

🥗Healthier: coconut cream

Coconut cream adds richness while being dairy-free.

sweetened condensed milk

🥗Healthier: unsweetened almond milk + sugar

💰Cheaper: regular milk + sugar

Almond milk lowers calories while still providing sweetness.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a bowl, mix egg yolks and 1/3 cup sugar until combined.

Add veg oil, whole milk, and vanilla to the egg yolk mixture and mix well.

In another bowl, combine cake flour, baking powder, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until smooth.

In a separate bowl, beat egg whites with lemon juice until soft peaks form, then gradually add 1/3 cup sugar until stiff peaks form.

Fold the egg whites into the cake batter gently until fully incorporated.

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

Let the cake cool completely in the pan.

In a bowl, whisk together evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream.

Poke holes in the cooled cake with a fork.

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

Whip the whipping cream until stiff peaks form and spread it over the soaked cake.

Prepare the caramel sauce by heating 1 cup sugar and 1/3 cup water until it caramelizes, then add 1 cup heavy cream and 1 tsp vanilla, stirring until combined.

Drizzle the caramel sauce over the whipped cream on the cake.
