Tres Leches Cake
Cake:
1 cup flour
1½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
5 lg eggs, separated
1 cup sugar
⅓ cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
Milk Mixture:
12 oz can evaporated milk
14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
¼ cup whole milk
Topping:
1 pint heavy whipping cream
3 Tbsp powdered sugar
½ tsp vanilla
cinnamon
fresh sliced strawberries (optional)
• Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare a 13” × 9” cake pan with cooking spray.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
• Separate the eggs into two smaller bowls.
• Add ¾ cup of the sugar to the bowl with the egg yolks and mix on high speed until yolks are pale yellow. Add the ⅓ cup milk and vanilla and stir to combine. Pour the egg yolk mixture over the flour mixture and stir gently until just combined.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks begin to form. At that point, gradually mix in the remaining ¼ cup of sugar.
• Gently fold the stiffly beaten egg whites into the batter. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl as necessary.
• Pour batter into the cake pan and smooth it out. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes. Allow the cake to cool completely.
• Once the cake has cooled, poke holes in the top with a fork.
• Combine the evaporated milk, condensed milk and whole milk in a small bowl. Gently pour the milk mixture over the cake, as evenly as possible.
• Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight, to let the milk soak into the cake.
• Whip the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Spread over top of the cake. Sprinkle cinnamon on top. Serve with sliced strawberries.
