  • For the filling: Whisk together the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1 tsp vanilla and 1 tsp rum extract and 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg.
  • Pour 1/2 over the cake allowing it to seep into the cake, then pour the remaining on top.
  • Cool to room temperature then cover and chill overnight.
  • To serve, whip together the remaining 2 cup heavy cream with 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 tsp rum extract. Adjust sweetness taste.
