Combine condensed milk, evaporated milk, and heavy cream in a small pitcher. When cake is cool, pierce the surface with a fork several times. I like to mix it in a pitcher or something that is easy to pour. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and half-and-half in a bowl.
