Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 10x15-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, water, vegetable oil, and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and mixed well but without overmixing. Pour batter into a prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake for 22-24 minutes.
- Let the cake cool for at least 30 minutes, then poke holes all over the cake with a bamboo skewer.
- In a large bowl, combine evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and half and half. Slowly pour over the cake, making sure to get in all the holes.
- Top cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
- Before serving, make the whipped topping. Whip cream with sugar and vanilla in a large bowl with an electric mixer or a stand mixer. Mix until soft peaks form, then spoon and spread over the cake.
Notes
- Recipe Note. Use a box of white cake mix between 15-18 ounces and follow the directions on the recipe and not the directions on the box.
- Make ahead of time. The cake needs to absorb the milk for a minimum of 3 hours, but you can make it up to a day in advance to let all the liquid absorb. Store the whipped cream separately and apply before serving.
- Store leftover cake, covered, in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
