For the Sponge:

5 large Eggs
140 g Granulated Sugar
140 g Plain Flour
10 g Baking Powder
1 tsp Salt
75 ml Whole Milk
1 tsp Vanilla Extract

For the Three Milk Mixture:

80 ml Double Cream
300 ml Evaporated Milk
250 ml Condensed Milk

For the Frosting:

480 ml Double Cream
38 g Granulated Sugar

For Garnish:

Fresh Strawberries
Fresh Blueberries
Edible Flowers

Instructions

Prepare the Sponge;

1. Begin by preheating your oven to 185°C (365°F) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking.
2. In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the granulated sugar. Using an electric mixer or a whisk, beat the mixture on high speed. Continue beating for about 4 to 5 minutes until the mixture becomes creamy, fluffy, and has doubled in volume. The color should lighten significantly.
3. Once the egg and sugar mixture is fluffy, add the vanilla extract. This will enhance the flavor of your sponge.
4. In a separate bowl, sift together the plain flour, baking powder, and salt. This process aerates the flour and helps prevent lumps. Carefully fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture using a whisk or a spatula. Be gentle to avoid deflating the batter; you want to maintain its lightness.
5. Pour in the whole milk. Gently mix until the batter is just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can result in a dense cake.
6. Grease a 12 by 9-inch baking pan with butter or a non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
7. Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan. Use a spatula to spread the batter evenly across the surface.
8. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Prepare the Three Milk Mixture;

9. While the cake is baking, take a large measuring cup or bowl and combine the double cream, evaporated milk, and condensed milk. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and homogenous. Set aside for later use.

Make the Frosting;

10. In a separate large mixing bowl, pour in the double cream and add the granulated sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream on high speed until stiff peaks form. This should take about 3 to 5 minutes. Be careful not to overbeat, as this can turn the cream into butter.

Assemble & Serve;

11. Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. This may take around 30-60 minutes.
12. After the cake has cooled, use a fork to poke holes all over the surface of the cake. This step is crucial as it allows the milk mixture to soak into the cake.
13. Slowly drizzle the prepared milk mixture over the entire surface of the cake. Make sure to cover all areas so that the cake absorbs the milk evenly. Allow the cake to sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soak in some of the milk.
14. Cover the cake with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least 2 to 3 hours, or ideally overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and the cake to absorb the milk fully.
15. After the cake has soaked up the milk, remove it from the refrigerator. Using a spatula, spread the whipped cream frosting evenly over the top of the cake. Smooth it out as desired for an even finish.
16. Finish by decorating the top of the cake with fresh strawberries, blueberries, and edible flowers for a vibrant and beautiful presentation.
17. Slice the cake into portions and serve chilled. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures in your homemade Three Milk Cake!

Note

CONVERSION IN CUPS:
140g (about 2/3 cup) Granulated Sugar
140g (about 1 cup) Plain Flour
2 tsp Baking Powder
75ml (about 1/3 cup) Whole Milk

80ml (about 1/3 cup) Double Cream

300ml (about 1 1/4 cups) Evaporated Milk

250ml (about 1 cup) Condensed Milk

2 cups (480 milliliters) double cream

3 tablespoons (38 grams) granulated sugar

Make sure your eggs and milk are at room temperature before starting. This helps the ingredients incorporate better and leads to a fluffier sponge.

When folding the dry ingredients into the egg mixture, be gentle. Overmixing can deflate the batter, resulting in a denser cake.

Allow the cake to soak for several hours, preferably overnight. This enhances the flavor and moisture. If you're short on time, a minimum of 2-3 hours is still beneficial.

When whipping the cream for frosting, keep an eye on it to avoid overwhipping, which can turn it into butter. It should hold stiff peaks but still be smooth.Cream , bowl and whisk attachment should be cold, better to keep bowl and whisk in freezer.

Substitute Coconut milk for part of the evaporated milk for a tropical twist.

Mango, pineapple, or passion fruit can be added as a topping or mixed into the milk mixture.

Adding lemon or lime zest to the batter or milk mixture can brighten the flavor.

Adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter can give a warm, cozy flavor.

Consider topping the cake with toasted coconut flakes, chopped nuts (such as pecans or almonds), or a mix of both for added texture and flavor.
