Scale
2 cups all purpose flour
¾ cup cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1½ teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1½ cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs (room temperature)
2 cups whole milk (room temperature)
½ cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 10oz can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup chocolate milk
½ cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon cocoa powder

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9″x13″ baking pan and set aside.
Whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl.
In a large bowl, combine sugar, eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine.
Pour the dry ingredients into the large bowl and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes.
Whisk sweetened condensed milk, chocolate milk, and heavy whipping cream in a medium bowl for the Tres Leches mixture.
Use a knife to gently unstick the sides of the cake and poke holes all over the surface.
Cover cake and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
In a large bowl, add powdered sugar, cocoa powder, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Beat on high until soft to stiff peaks form.
Spread the whipped topping over the cooled cake and decorate with chocolate shavings. Serve cold.
Notes
The cake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
