0 servings
What you need

cup all purpose flour
cup sourdough starter

cup granulated sugar

tsp vanilla extract

tbsp powdered sugar

tsp table salt

can evaporated milk

tsp baking soda

cup heavy whipping cream

can sweetened condensed milk

tsp baking powder

cup unsalted butter
egg

cup full fat milk
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease a baking pan with butter (10.5x7.5” or 8” round/square) and set aside. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the granulated sugar and whisk. Add the melted butter to the dry ingredient mixture and beat with a handheld mixer until incorporated. You can also use a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or whisk by hand. Add the eggs, and beat until well combined. Then, add in the vanilla and sourdough discard, and mix until incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake at 350F for 40-45 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Remove from the oven and cool completely. Once the cake has cooled, make the milk soaker mixture. In a medium bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the whole milk, evaporated milk, and sweetened condensed milk. Using a fork or skewer, poke holes all over the cake, and then slowly pour the milk mixture over top the cake, allowing the mixture to soak in as you pour. Then, cover the cake with plastic wrap and place into the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight. Once ready to serve, make the whipped cream. In a large bowl, whip together all of the ingredients using a handheld or stand mixer, until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream on top of the cake, and then sprinkle with cinnamon. Slice and serve. Enjoy!View original recipe
