Ingredients You’ll Need
Gather these ingredients, and let’s get cooking!
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup heavy cream, whipped
- Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for topping
Instructions – Let’s Get This Cake Bakin’!
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set that aside.
- In another bowl, cream the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Now, gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
- Pour the batter into your greased baking dish and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, let’s prepare the tres leches mixture. In a bowl, combine the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and heavy cream. Whisk it up until it’s smooth.
- Once your cake has cooled, poke holes all over the top with a fork. This allows all that delicious milk mixture to soak in. Pour the tres leches mix over the cake and let it soak for at least 30 minutes.
- To finish it off, spread that whipped cream over the top and sprinkle with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder for that extra flair.
- Chill the cake for a few hours or overnight. Serve it cold, and watch everyone fall in love with this decadent dessert!
