Tres Leches Cake is a traditional Latin American dessert. It is known for being spongey and soaked in a mixture of three types of milk: evaporated milk, condensed milk, and cream. Its smooth texture and sweetness make it a favorite for many people.

For the cake:

  • 1 cup (200 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 cup (50 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 cup (200 grams) sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the three milk mixture:

  • 1 can (400 grams) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 can (400 grams) evaporated milk
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk

For the topping:

  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Make sure you have fresh ingredients and that the condensed milk, evaporated milk, and whole milk are at room temperature. Then, follow the recipe carefully to achieve a delicious and well-soaked Tres Leches Cake. Enjoy!

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. In a bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder.
  3. In another large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This may take about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and mix until well incorporated.
  5. Gradually incorporate the sifted flour and baking powder mixture into the butter and egg mixture. Mix until you have a homogeneous batter.
  6. Pour the batter into individual cups or a greased large baking pan.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the cakes are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. While the cakes are baking, prepare the three milk mixture. In a bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and whole milk.
  9. Once the cakes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
  10. While they are still warm, poke holes in the cakes several times with a fork or toothpick. This will help them absorb the three milk mixture better.
  11. Pour the three milk mixture over the cakes and let them soak for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
  12. Before serving, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until firm and peaks form.
  13. Cover the cakes with the whipped cream and decorate them to your liking.

There you have it! Now you have a delicious Homemade Tres Leches Cake. Enjoy!
