Soft & Moist Tres Leches Cake
- FOR THE CAKE:
- 5 whole Eggs
- 3/4 cups Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 1/2 cups Melted Butter That's Been Cooled
- 1-1/2 cup Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1-1/2 can (14 Oz. Size) Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 1-1/2 can (12 Oz. Size) Evaporated Milk
- 1-1/2 cup Whole Milk
- FOR THE WHIPPED CREAM TOPPING:
- 2 cups Heavy Cream
- 1/4 cups Sugar
- For the cake:
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0F (176u0b0C). Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, add eggs, sugar and vanilla. Use an electric mixer and mix on high for about 3 minutes. It will become pale and thick. Add the melted butter and flour. Before mixing, directly on top of the flour, add the baking powder and salt. With a spoon, mix the dry ingredients together first just to disperse the salt and baking powder into the flour. Then mix to combine but don't over-mix.
- Pour batter into the baking dish and bake until a fork inserted in the center comes out clean, approximately 25 minutes (if using a metal baking dish it may be done much sooner).
- While the cake is in the oven take a medium bowl and whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and the whole milk.
- Right when the cake comes out of the oven, poke the top of it many times with a fork and then pour the milk mixture over the whole cake. The milks will become absorbed. Allow cake to cool before topping with whipped cream.
- While cake is cooling, prepare whipped cream by pouring heavy cream into a medium/large bowl. Add the sugar. Mix with an electric mixer until you start forming stiff peaks. Spread whipped cream over the top of the cake, cut yourself a piece, and enjoy!
