Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Preheat the oven

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.

2
Mix the dry ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

3
Separate the eggs

Separate the egg whites and yolks into two large bowls.

4
Beat the egg yolks

Add 3/4 cup of granulated sugar to the egg yolks and beat until light and fluffy. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract.

5
Beat the egg whites

Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.

6
Combine the mixtures

Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the flour mixture until just combined. Fold in the egg white mixture until no streaks remain.

7
Bake the cake

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes.

8
Prepare the milk mixture

In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and heavy cream.

9
Soak the cake

Using a fork, poke holes all over the warm cake. Slowly pour the milk mixture evenly over the cake, allowing it to absorb the liquid. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight.

10
Serve and enjoy

Serve the Tres Leches Cake chilled, topped with sweetened whipped cream if desired. Enjoy this decadent and moist milk-soaked cake!
