The Moistest Cake Ever! Step-by-Step Tres Leches Recipe 🍰😋

Tres Leches Cake, also known as “Three Milk Cake,” is a moist and delicate sponge cake with an incredibly soft texture that practically melts in your mouth 🤌🏻 Ingredients for the cake: 5 eggs 200 g sugar 120 g milk 250 g cake flour ½ tsp vanilla 1 tsp baking powder For the milk sauce: 1 can sweetened condensed milk 200 g heavy cream 240 g milk For topping: Whipped cream (as needed) Pistachio powder or fresh fruit for decoration Instructions: Separate the egg whites and yolks. Beat the egg whites with half of the sugar in three additions until stiff peaks form. Beat the egg yolks with the remaining sugar and vanilla until the mixture becomes pale and creamy.👌🏻 Add the milk to the yolk mixture and combine. Sift the flour and baking powder together, then gently fold them into the batter using a spatula. Now fold in the beaten egg whites in three additions, mixing slowly and carefully.👌🏻 Line the bottom of your baking pan with parchment paper, pour in the batter, and bake in a preheated oven at 170°C (338°F) for 40–45 minutes.👌🏻 For the milk sauce, mix all ingredients together until fully combined. Once the cake is baked and completely cooled, remove the parchment paper, trim the thin top layer, and place the cake back into the pan. Poke holes all over the cake with a fork and pour the milk sauce evenly over it. Let it rest in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours.👌🏻 After chilling, whip the cream until it thickens, spread it over the cake, and decorate with pistachio powder or fruits of your choice. Enjoy! 🧡 Tips: Make sure the cake is completely cool before adding the milk mixture. If the cake is still warm, it won’t absorb the milk properly and may become soggy. ✨ #treslechescake #three_milk_cake #moistcake #mexicandessert #milkcake
