Instructions

  • Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
  • Bake the Cake:
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a cooling rack.
  • Prepare the Glaze:
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, whole milk, and vanilla extract.
  • Heat until the mixture is warm, but do not let it boil.
  • Glaze the Cake:
  • Using a fork or skewer, poke holes all over the top of the cooled cake.
  • Slowly pour the warm glaze over the cake, allowing it to soak in.
  • Let the cake sit for at least 1 hour to absorb the glaze.
