Ingredients

Cake

  • 1 box vanilla cake mix {15.25 ounces}
  • ½ cup butter {melted}
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Milk Mixture

  • 1 ½ cup whole milk
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 16 ounces evaporated milk

Toppings

  • 8 ounce whipped topping
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 9x13 pan with non-stick spray and set aside.
  • Combine cake ingredients and mix with a hand held mixer {or by hand}. Mix until all of the ingredients are nicely combined {about 2 minutes}. Pour into the prepared 9x13 pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cake is cooked through. You can tell it is finished when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and cool for 15 minutes.
  • While the cake is cooling combine the milk mixture and whisk. Once the cake has cooled poke holes in the top of the cake with a tooth pick or skewer. Poke the holes about about a half inch apart all over the top of the cake. Then pour the milk mixture evenly over the top of the cake. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably longer {even overnight}.
  • Once the cake has refrigerated for at least an hour, top with whipped topping and fresh berries. Serve or refrigerate for up to 4 days.
