Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup milk
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 1 cup heavy cream (for topping)
- 2 tbsp sugar (for topping)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Fresh fruit or chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners and set aside.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set that aside while we mix the eggs.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until fluffy and pale, about 5 minutes. You want that good aeration!
- Now, gently fold in the dry ingredients, and then mix in the milk until everything is combined nicely. Don’t overmix!
- Spoon the batter into the lined muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick poked in the center comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely on a wire rack.
- While those cupcakes are cooling, let’s prepare the tres leches mixture! In a bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and heavy cream until blended.
- Once the cupcakes are cool, poke some holes in the tops with a fork, and then drizzle the tres leches mixture all over the cupcakes. Let ‘em soak for at least 30 minutes.
- To finish it off, whip the heavy cream with sugar and vanilla extract until it forms soft peaks. Top the cupcakes generously with the whipped cream and add some fresh fruit or chocolate shavings if you’re feeling fancy.
- Serve, and watch them disappear—because trust me, they’re that good!
