Check the cake after 30 minutes to ensure even cooking, but it takes about 50 minutes total.

Poke holes in the cake to allow the milk mixture to soak in.

Mix together condensed milk, evaporated milk, heavy cream, and cold brew coffee.

Pour the milk mixture over the poked cake, ensuring it gets into all the holes.

Refrigerate the cake overnight to allow it to soak up the milk mixture.

Top the finished cake with whipped cream and cacao.
