Ingredients:

• 4 eggs

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar

• 1 cup all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled

• 1 tbsp + 1 tsp baking powder

• 1 1/4 tsp baking soda

• 2 tsp marshmallow extract

Milk mixture:

• 3/4 cup of evaporated milk

• 1 (14oz) can of condensed milk

• 1 - 1 1/4 cup milk

• Lucky charms cereal

For whipped cream topping:

• 3/4 cup of heavy cream

• 1/2 cup marshmallow fluff

• Optional: 1-2 tbsps of powdered sugar

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 F and butter an 8x8 metal pan then set aside.

• Before preparing the cake, prepare the cereal milk mixture. Pour only the milk into a bowl with the lucky charms. Let it soak for at least 20 minutes. Separate the cereal from the milk using a strainer. Add in the evaporated milk and condensed milk, and whisk until combined. Once combined, you can leave it in the fridge while you prepare the cake.

• Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites.

• In a bowl, beat the egg whites until fluffy with soft peaks.

• Slowly add the sugar to the egg whites until combined then add in 1 yolk at a time until it looks like a pale yellow.

• Add in the marshmallow extract and mix.

• In a separate bowl, combine and SIFT the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder and baking soda.

• Then slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients while continuously beating it. The end batter should be very fluffy. Do NOT overmix.

• Pour the batter into prepared pan and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

• Remove cake from oven once finished baking then immediately poke holes throughout the cake with a fork or toothpick. Do not poke all the way through the bottom.

• Pour the milk mixture over the entire cake.

• Cover the cake and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours to overnight. I let mine soak overnight.

• After the cake has chilled and soaked in the milks, prepare the whipped cream. Add the heavy cream and marshmallow fluff to a large mixing bowl. Mix on medium speed until cream starts to thicken, then ~optional~ add in the powdered sugar.  Continue mixing on medium to high speed until soft peaks form.

• Spoon the whipped cream onto the cake, spread with a spatula or butter knife.

• Add your desired toppings! I would recommend adding the lucky charms before serving so it doesn’t get soggy.
