Ingredients You’ll Need
Gather these ingredients to get started on your Tres Leche Cake:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 5 large eggs, separated
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- Fresh fruit or grated coconut for topping (optional)
Instructions to Create This Delightful Cake
Follow these simple steps to make your Tres Leche Cake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add the milk and vanilla extract, mixing well.
- Slowly incorporate the flour mixture, stirring until just combined.
- In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter, being careful not to deflate them.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the milk mixture by combining the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and whole milk in a bowl.
- Once the cake is baked and cooled, poke holes all over the top using a fork. Pour the milk mixture over the cake, making sure it seeps into the holes.
- For the topping, beat the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Spread it over the cake.
- Top with your choice of fresh fruit or grated coconut if desired. Chill the cake in the fridge for a few hours before serving to let the flavors meld.
