- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 
- Prepare a 9x13 baking pan by greasing and flouring the sides and the bottom. 
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Set aside. 
- In a mixing bowl, beat the butter with 1 cup of the sugar until fluffy, about 6 minutes. 
- Add the eggs, one at a time and scrape down the sides in between each addition. 
- Then, add ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix just until blended. 
- Add the flour mixture to the batter a little at a time, scraping down the sides and beating until well blended. 
- Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and smooth the top evenly. 
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle returns clean. 
- Place the baking dish on a wire rack and poke holes all over the top of the cake with a fork. Allow the cake to cool to room temperature. 
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, and evaporated milk. 
- Pour the mixture over the cake. 
- Cover the cake and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. 
- When ready to frost, whip the heavy cream in a stand mixer with the whip attachment along with the remaining vanilla. 
- Continue whipping the cream while slowly adding the sugar in a steady stream. 
- Continue beating the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. 
- Spread the whipped cream over the top of the cake. 
- Serve the cake as it is or topped with strawberries and/or cinnamon/sugar mixture.
