Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350F and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
2. Next in a bowl, combine the flour, baking soda & powder, salt and cinnamon. Whisk until everything is well incorporated and set it aside.
3. Next into a stand mixture or using a handheld mixture, mix the eggs until they’re beaten. Add in the sugar and beat for 1-2 mins until you see a light pale like mixture. Add the sour cream + vanilla extract and mix until everything is well combined.
4. Slowly add the dry mixture into the wet, until you have a lump free batter. Add the milk and milk one more time. Transfer batter into baking pan and bake for 30mins or until the center is fully baked.
5. In a bowl combine the “3 milks” and whisk until everything is fully incorporated. Set aside.
6. In a blender add the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar, pulse until the heavy whipping cream forms stiff peaks. * see notes
7. Once the cake is baked, cool for 10 mins and using a fork pierced holes all over the cake. Pour the milk mixture all over the cake and wait until everything is well absorbed. Cool in the fridge for 30 mins- 1 hr.
8. Add the whipped frosting on top and dust it with a little powdered sugar. Enjoy!

Notes

• If you don’t have a blender that can make fresh whipped cream you can use cool whip or a stand mixture and whisk everything until you have stiff peaks. I have used my blend tec and ninja bullet in the past to make fresh whipped cream.
• I purchased small pipettes from amazon and filled them with caramel to place on top of the cake along with churro flavored Kit Kats! This is optional but definitely adds a fun touch to the cake.
• Turn this cake into cupcakes, simply fill each cupcake liner with batter and bake for 15-20 mins until center is fully cooked (check with toothpick or sharp knife). Poke holes with toothpick or fork and add 1 tbsp or more of the milk mixture.
