1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour 2 tsp. baking powder 3/4 tsp. Kosher salt 3 extra large eggs at room temperature 1 c. plus 5 Tbsp. granulated sugar (decrease the cup by 2 Tbsp. and use the 5 Tbsp. for the strawberries) 2 tsp. pure vanilla extract 1/2 c. whole milk 1 1/4 c. heavy cream 1 12-oz. can evaporated milk 1 14-oz. can sweetened condensed milk 1/2 tsp. almond extract seeds scraped from one vanilla bean (Sprouts and Natural Grocer sell these) 8 c. sliced fresh strawberries sifted confectioners' sugar for dusting whipped cream for topping Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9x13-inch baking pan. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into a small bowl and set aside. Beat eggs, 1 c. sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer on High for 10 minutes (YES, 10 minutes!) until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to Low and slowly add half the flour mixture, then the whole milk, and then the remaining flour mixture. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake for 25 minutes until cake springs back when lightly touched in the center and a cake tester comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 30 minutes. Whisk together heavy cream, evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, almond extract, vanilla seeds, and almond extract. Using a skewer, poke holes all over the top of the cooled cake. Slowly pour cream mixture over the top, allowing it to absorb completely before pouring on more mixture. Cover cake with plastic wrap and set in refrigerator for at least 6 hours. To serve, toss strawberries in 5 Tbsp. sugar. Dust the cake with confectioners' sugar, cut in squares, and place on dessert plates. Surround with strawberries and add a dollop of whipped cream on top of cake.
