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
- 1Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- 2In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- 3In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- 4Add the eggs one by one, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- 5Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- 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.
- 7While the cake is baking, prepare the tres leches mixture by combining the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and whole milk in a bowl.
- 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.
- 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.
- 10Before serving, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the cake.
- 11Top with fresh fruit if desired, and serve cold.
