Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.

Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow cooling.

Step 4

While the cake is baking, soak the cinnamon cereal in milk for 30 minutes. Strain the mixture into a medium bowl, discard cereal. Add to the cinnamon milk the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla. Mix until well combined.

After the cake has cooled down, prick thoroughly with a toothpick. Slowly, pour the mixture of milks over the cake until all the liquid is absorbed. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and place in the refrigerator. Allow the cake to rest for at least 1 hour.
