Ingredients

  • 1 Box French Vanilla Cake Mix
  • 4 Eggs
  • 2 Tablespoons Oil
  • 1-¼ Cups Water
  • 14 oz Can Sweetened condensed milk
  • 12 oz Can NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Evaporated Milk
  • 1-¾ Cups Heavy Whipping Cream (divided)
  • 2 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1 Bag NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Holiday Morsels

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 9x13 inch baking pan.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, oil and water with an electric mixer on low speed. Beat until combined (about 2 minutes). Pour the batter into the greased baking dish, and bake for approx. 25-30 minutes. To check to make sure it is cooked insert a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
  • Let cake stand for five minutes then poke holes all over the top with a kebab skewer or fork. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk and ¾th cup heavy whipping cream until combined. Pour the mixture evenly over the top of the cake, trying to fill the holes as much as possible. The milk mixture will pool around the edges of the cake. Immediately place the cake in the fridge to set, at least 6 hours or overnight.
