Ingredients:
- 1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ Yellow Cake Mix
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 4 eggs
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)
- 1 cup whole milk or evaporated milk
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tub (12 oz) Betty Crocker Whipped Fluffy White Frosting
Directions:
- Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Spray bottom and sides of 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray.
- In large bowl, beat cake mix, water, oil, vanilla and eggs with electric mixer on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour into pan.
- Bake 24 to 28 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove cake to cooling rack; let stand 5 minutes. Poke holes using fork every 1/2 inch over top of cake. If necessary, wipe fork tines occasionally with paper towel to reduce sticking.
- In large bowl, stir together sweetened condensed milk, whole milk and whipping cream, until blended. Carefully pour evenly over top of cake, working back and forth to fill holes. Refrigerate about 2 hours or until chilled. Drop frosting by spoonfuls over top of cake; spread evenly. Store loosely covered in refrigerator.
