Ingredients

Servings:3
  • 1 1/2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
  • 5 pieces Large eggs, separated
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup Whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Baking powder
  • 12 ounces Evaporated milk
  • 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cups Peruvian Manjar Blanco (Dulce de Leche)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.

  2. 2

    Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then gradually add the sugar while continuing to beat until glossy.

  3. 3

    Fold in the egg yolks one by one, followed by the vanilla and the 1/3 cup of milk.

  4. 4

    Sift the GF flour and baking powder together, then gently fold into the wet mixture until just combined; pour into the pan and bake for 25-30 minutes.

  5. 5

    While the cake cools slightly, whisk together the evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream to create the 'tres leches' soaking liquid.

  6. 6

    Poke holes across the entire surface of the warm cake with a fork and pour the milk mixture over it, allowing it to soak in for at least 30 minutes.

  7. 7

    Spread a thick, even layer of Manjar Blanco over the soaked cake, ensuring it fills some of the holes for that signature Peruvian sweetness.

  8. 8

    Top with whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon before chilling for at least 4 hours or overnight.
