1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. 2

   Sift together the cake flour and baking powder.

3. 3

   Add the eggs and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and beat until foamy.

4. 4

   With a rubber spatula, gently fold in the flour mixture in increments, alternating with 1/3 cup milk, until the batter is smooth.

5. 5

   Pour cake batter into a lightly greased cake pan or baking dish, 7 by 11 by 2 inches, and bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top springs back when pressed.

6. 6

   Allow cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 20 minutes, then invert onto a serving platter.

7. 7

   Pierce the cake with a fork in many places, and allow it to cool completely.

8. 8

   In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the condensed milk, evaporated milk, 1 cup milk and rum until well blended.

9. 9

   Pour syrup evenly over the cake a little at a time, until it is saturated; you may not need the entire amount.

10. 10

    Refrigerate, covered in plastic wrap, for at least 3 hours.

11. 11

    In a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer, whisk the heavy cream until it begins to thicken.

12. 12

    Add 1 teaspoon sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and continue whisking until stiff peaks form.

13. 13

    Using a spatula, spread the cream over the top and sides of the cake.

14. 14

    Serve, cut into squares.
