Tres Leches Cake - Super Delicious Foolproof Recipe

My Famous Tres Leches Cake: A Crowd-Pleasing Delight!

This Tres Leches Cake is a true crowd-pleaser and far better than any store-bought version. While it takes a bit of time to make, it’s absolutely worth the effort! I bake it the night before and add the topping and frosting the next day, making it perfectly moist and flavorful. It’s a must-try recipe, and whenever I make it, it disappears in no time, no matter the occasion!

TRES LECHES CAKE INGREDIENTS:
•1 cup all-purpose flour
•1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 5 eggs (large)
•1 cup sugar divided into 3/4 & 1/4 cups
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup whole milk

CAKE SYRUP:
• 12 oz evaporated milk
• 9 oz sweetened condensed milk (2/3 of a 14 oz can)
• 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream

CAKE FROSTING:
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 cup berries to garnish, optional
• 1 large mango (optional)

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F and butter a 13x9 baking dish. Set up 3 mixing bowls.
Sift the dry ingredients into the first bowl. Separate egg whites and yolks into the other 2 bowls.
Using an electric hand mixer beat yolks with 3/4 cup sugar on high speed, until pale yellow (2 min). Stir in 1/3 cup milk and vanilla.
With clean and dry egg beaters, beat whites on high speed until soft peaks form (1 min). With the mixer on, add remaining 1/4 cup sugar and beat on high speed until whites are stiff but not dry (1 min).
Pour egg yolk mixture over the flour mixture and use a spatula to blend together. Gently fold in egg white mixture until just combined. Pour batter into prepared casserole and bake 30-35 minutes.
When the cake has cooled, pierce all over with a fork or a toothpick and slowly drizzle on the 3-milks mixture. Let rest 30 minutes then top with whipped cream and berries or any choice of fruits.
