Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Lightly grease a baking dish; set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
Using an electric mixer, beat the butter, sugar and vanilla extract on medium speed for 8 to 10 minutes, or until very pale and creamy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the flour mixture mixing until just combined.
Stir the batter with a rubber spatula to ensure all of the ingredients are incorporated.
Transfer the cake batter to the prepared baking dish and bake until a
skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes.
Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.
Three Milk Mixture Directions
Using a skewer, poke holes all over the top of the cake.
In a large pitcher, whisk together the whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, buttermilk, dulce de leche, and vanilla extract until combined.
Very slowly, pour the milk mixture all over the cake.
Refrigerate the cake for at least 3 hours, or overnight, ensuring that all of the milk mixture is absorbed.
Topping Directions
Place the cream in a large bowl and either by hand or using an electric mixer, whip on medium speed until soft peaks form.
Spread the whipped cream on top of the cake, then drizzle and swirl the dulce de leche into the whipped cream.
Enjoy!!
Notes
