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
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.
