Hey everyone, I want to introduce you to a classic dessert: Tres Leches Cake! This creamy, sponge cake is soaked in a delicious blend of three types of milk and topped with fluffy whipped cream. It's incredibly moist and perfect for any occasion!

Ingredients:

For the Cake:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
  171×132
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup whole milk

For the Tres Leches Soak:

• 1 cup evaporated milk
• 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2 cup whole milk

For the Topping:

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Fresh berries or fruit for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Bake the Cake:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
• In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
• Gradually add the flour mixture, alternating with the milk, until just combined.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Allow the cake to cool in the pan.

2. Prepare the Tres Leches Soak:

• In a bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and whole milk.

3. Soak the Cake:

• Once the cake has cooled, poke holes all over the surface with a fork.
• Slowly pour the milk mixture over the cake, allowing it to absorb.

4. Prepare the Topping:

• In a bowl, beat the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
• Spread the whipped cream over the top of the soaked cake.

5. Garnish and Serve:

• Top with fresh berries or fruit if desired.

Hello there! I love making Tres Leches! I think it’s even better if you let it soak overnight. The cake gets so rich and moist, though it’s hard to wait that long to dig in!
