Tres Leches Cake
- 1 14 cups cake flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup sugar
- 13 cup oil
- 5 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla, divided
- 1 12 cups milk, divided
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 34 cups heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon rum
- 1 pinch salt
- fresh berries (optional) or cinnamon (optional)
- Combine flour and baking powder and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the oil, sugar, and 1 teaspoons vanilla.
- Add the eggs to the sugar mixture one at a time until well combined.
- Stir in 1/2 cup milk, then gently fold in the flour mixture a little at a time.
- Pour batter into a lightly greased cake pan or baking dish and bake at 325F for 30-40 minutes or until it feels firm and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool until it feels room temperature.
- Turn it over onto a platter with raised edges.
- Pierce cake with a fork 20-30 times.
- Let it cool in the refrigerator for an additional 30 minutes.
- Whisk together the remaining 1 cup milk, 1 cup sweetened condensed milk, 1 cup heavy cream and the rum.
- Slowly pour over cooled cake.
- Refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Occasionally, spoon the milk runoff back into the cake.
- In a mixing bowl, add 3/4 cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1 tablespoon sugar.
- Beat until peaks form.
- Spread with a sprinkle of cinnamon or garnish with fresh berries.
- Note:.
- When a recipe calls for an ingredient "divided" (such as the vanilla in this recipe) it means that you will need 2 teaspoons vanilla, for separate uses.
- I realize that most people know what divided means, I'm only stating it for the beginner chefs.
