This is my husband’s favorite cake – the one he’s requested for his birthday two years running. I used to think it needed more liquid and therefore added another can of condensed with another cup of whole milk but last time I made it just the way it’s written (except that I still decreased the sugar in the whipped cream) and it’s perfect. Absolutely positively perfect.
This cake is made with three layers: Cake, filling and topping. There are 4 types of milk in the filling and topping (whole milk, condensed milk, evaporated milk, and heavy cream). This is an excellent cake for milk lovers!

P.S. For some people who were in a hurry – thought t might interest them to know that heating the milk mixture slightly will result in faster absorption into the cake. also, it will enable the milk to mix better and with less effort.
