Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • Fresh fruit for topping (optional)
Instructions
  1. 1Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. 2In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. 3In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. 4Add the eggs one by one, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. 5Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  6. 6Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. 7While the cake is baking, prepare the tres leches mixture by combining the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and whole milk in a bowl.
  8. 8Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 15 minutes. Poke holes all over the surface of the cake using a skewer or fork.
  9. 9Slowly pour the tres leches mixture over the warm cake, ensuring it soaks in evenly. Let it cool completely at room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
  10. 10Before serving, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the cake.
  11. 11Top with fresh fruit if desired, and serve cold.
