Pour batter into a greased cake pan. Bake at 350℉ (180℃) until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 25–30 minutes.

05

While the cake is baking, heat the evaporated milk, butter, sugar, almond extract, and vanilla extract in a saucepan over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved and the butter has melted. Remove from heat
