Instructions

Step 1:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease your 13 by 9 inch cake pan with butter.

Step 2:

In a large mixing bowl, add the cake mix, 1 tablespoon of Mexican vanilla, and all the other ingredients needed. Whisk until well combined, then pour into the greased cake pan.

Step 3:

Place the cake pan inside the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes. To check if it’s fully cooked, poke the center with a stick or the tines of the fork. Once done baking, let it cool down for about 45 minutes to an hour.

Step 4:

In a different bowl, add 2 cups of half-and-half, 14 0z of condensed milk, and 12 oz of evaporated milk. Whisk everything until well combined, then set aside.

Step 5:

Take the top off the cake using a knife and make it flat. Poke holes using the tines of a fork all over the cake. This will allow the milk to go down.

Step 6:

Pour the milk mixture into the cake. Cover the pan with foil and place in the refrigerator for 3 to 12 hours. The longer the better.

Step 7:

Make the whipped cream. Add the whipping cream to a mixer or a bowl, followed by 3 tablespoons of sugar and Mexican vanilla. Mix or whisk until fluffy.

Step 8:

Spread the whipped cream on top of the cake. Sprinkle ground cinnamon, then add your favorite fruit slices for the topping.

Step 9:

Slice and serve enjoy!
