TRES LECHES CAKE (DESSERT)
Tres Leches Cake is a moist, indulgent dessert soaked in three types of milk, resulting in a rich and creamy treat. Topped with whipped cream and fruit, it’s a crowd favorite!
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 5 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whipped cream (for topping)
- Fresh fruit (strawberries, peaches, or berries for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking dish. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in vanilla and dry ingredients until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely.
- In a bowl, combine evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and heavy cream.
- Poke holes all over the cooled cake with a fork. Slowly pour the milk mixture over the cake, allowing it to soak in. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
- Top the soaked cake with whipped cream and garnish with fresh fruit before serving.
