Tres Leches Cake

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cake

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan. In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Mix the Batter

    In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and mix well. Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing until just combined.

  3. 3

    Bake the Cake

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Milk Mixture

    In a bowl, whisk together whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, and evaporated milk.

  5. 5

    Soak the Cake

    Once the cake is cool, poke holes all over the top with a fork. Slowly pour the milk mixture over the cake, allowing it to soak in.
