Tres Leches Cake

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 5 large Eggs
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.33 cup Whole milk
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 12 ounces Evaporated milk
• 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar

Instructions

1. 1

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

2. 2

   Separate egg whites and yolks. Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form, then gradually add sugar while beating.

3. 3

   Add egg yolks one at a time to the whites, followed by vanilla and 1/3 cup whole milk.

4. 4

   Gently fold in flour and baking powder until just combined. Pour into the prepared pan.

5. 5

   Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely.

6. 6

   Whisk together the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and 1/4 cup of the heavy cream.

7. 7

   Pierce the cooled cake all over with a fork and slowly pour the milk mixture over the top.

8. 8

   Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (ideally overnight) to allow the cake to absorb the liquid.

9. 9

   Whip the remaining heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form, spread over the cake, and serve.
