A good ol’ stick of butter (that’s ½ cup for the city folk)
1 cup sugar (sweet as southern hospitality)
5 farm-fresh eggs
A splash of vanilla (1 teaspoon)
1 ½ cups flour (like the dusty trails)
1 teaspoon baking powder (our rising star!)
A pinch of salt (½ teaspoon)
2 cups whole milk (rich as a gold rush!)
A 12oz can of evaporated milk (trust me on this)
A 14oz can of sweetened condensed milk (the magic touch)
1 1/2 cups whipping cream (like fluffy white clouds)
Another cup of sugar (because why not?)
And another splash of vanilla (1 teaspoon)
