  • Method & Directions of Tres Leches Cake

    • 40 Minutes
  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 175°C. Leave your baking pan ungreased—this will help the cake soak up the milk mixture later.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the Egg Yolks

    In a separate mixing bowl, add the egg yolks and ¾ cup of sugar. Beat on high speed until the yolks turn a pale-yellow color. Stir in ⅓ cup of milk and vanilla extract, then pour this mixture over the dry ingredients. Gently stir just until combined, making sure not to overmix.
  4. Beat the Egg Whites

    In another bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites on high speed. Once they start forming stiff peaks, gradually add the remaining ¼ cup of sugar. Keep beating until the mixture is glossy and holds its shape.
  5. Fold the Batter

    Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the batter, using gentle motions to keep the mixture airy. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl to ensure everything is fully combined.
  6. Bake the Cake

    Pour the batter into your ungreased pan, smoothing it into an even layer. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool completely.
  7. Prepare the Milk Mixture

    In a small bowl, whisk together the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and whole milk. Once the cake has cooled, use a fork to poke holes all over the surface.
  8. Soak the Cake

    Slowly pour the milk mixture over the cake, making sure to distribute it evenly, especially around the edges. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight, to allow the cake to absorb all the liquid.
  9. Make the Whipped Cream
