Ingredients
For the cake
- cooking spray for greasing, or olive oil or butter
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt fine
- 1 ½ cups applesauce unsweetened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup vegetable oil plus more for greasing
- 3 large egg Pete & Gerry’s Organic
- ½ cup whole milk divided
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup evaporated milk (about 9 ounces)
For the whipped topping
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray, olive oil, or butter and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the applesauce, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, ¼ cup milk, and vanilla extract.
- Add the dry ingredients to the bowl of wet ingredients and whisk until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the greased baking pan and bake for 23-28 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes while you make the three milk mixture.
- In a medium bowl, add the remaining ¼ cup of milk, the sweetened condensed milk, and evaporated milk. Whisk together to combine.
- Gently run a knife or spatula along the sides of the cake pan to unstick the sides. Using a skewer or a fork, poke holes all over the top of the cake.
- Slowly pour the three milk mixture all over the top and sides of the cake. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let the cake fully cool and absorb the liquid.
- While the cake is chilling, make the whipped cream topping. Add the heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon to a large bowl. Beat on high speed using a handheld or stand mixer until soft peaks form. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Spread the whipped cream over the top of the cake and sprinkle a dusting of cinnamon on top if desired.
Notes
- Let the cake cool completely in the fridge for the full 2 hours. This will also allow the cake to fully absorb the three-milk mixture
- Make sure to use unsweetened applesauce. The milk soak and the whipped cream already add plenty of sweetness.
