My sister and I came up with this one day. I had just shown her a tres leches recipe, and because red velvet cake is her all-time favorite, she said that she thought a red velvet sponge cake would be delicious. So I patched a few recipes together and we made the cake together.

Steps:
- 1. Grease and flour a 9X13 inch pan. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- 2. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Add vanilla, beat until smooth.
- 3. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt. In a smaller bowl, combine the buttermilk and the red food coloring.
- 4. Add about 1/3 of the flour mixture to the creamed butter/sugar mixture, stir to combine. Add about 1/3 of the buttermilk to that, stirring to combine. Continue alternating between adding 1/3 of the flour and buttermilk to the butter/sugar mixture until everything has been mixed together. Stir in the tablespoon of vinegar, mix batter well to remove lumps.
- 5. Pour cake batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the cake is firm to the touch. Remove cake from oven, turn out onto rimmed platter and let cool.
- 6. Once the cake has cooled, combine the can of condensed milk (13.5 oz), the evaporated milk (13.5 oz) and the cream in a bowl. Gradually pour the entire mixture into the cake, making sure to get all of the edges. Let the cake soak for about 30 minutes.
- 7. Take the pint of very cold cream and pour into a small bowl. Add three tablespoons of sugar to the cream and beat with a mixer on high speed until thick and spreadable, about 45 seconds. Top the cake with the whipped cream.
- 8. Note: If you have leftover cake, it is best stored in the refrigerator.
