- 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 12-ounce can evaporated milk
- 1/2 cup well-stirred canned coconut milk
- 1/2 cup 1/2 & 1/2
- 1/3 cup rum
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
Beat until fluffy:
- 1/2 cup (one stick) unsalted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 5 large eggs
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
While still warm, pierce cake all over with a fork and pour milk mixture over the entire cake. Cover and refrigerate until well-chilled and most or all of the milk is absorbed (at least 4 hours or better overnight).
Beat then spread over cake:
- 1 1/2 cups whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- strawberries or assorted fresh fruit.
