- Use a fork to poke holes all throughout the cake. Slowly pour the milk mixture over the cake. Don’t do this quickly or the mix will overflow. Give the cake a few seconds to absorb the mixture and then continue adding the remaining milk.
- Cover the cake and place it in the fridge for at least an hour but I recommend letting it soak overnight. It’s worth the wait!
- Make the whipped cream topping by beating heavy whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla extract together in a stand mixer until peaks form. This will take about 2-3 minutes typically.240 grams heavy whipping cream, 25 grams sugar, 5 grams vanilla extract
