Pumpkin Spice Tres Leches Cake Recipe

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin spice until evenly combined.

Beat Sugar and Eggs

In a large bowl, beat the sugar and eggs together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is thick and pale, about 5 minutes.

Add Milk and Vanilla

Add the whole milk and vanilla extract to the egg mixture and mix until well combined.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.

Bake the Cake

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Combine Milks

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

Soak the Cake

Once the cake has cooled for about 10 minutes, poke holes all over the top using a fork. Slowly pour the milk mixture over the cake, allowing it to soak in.

Whip the Cream

In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form.

Top the Cake

Spread the whipped cream over the soaked cake evenly. Sprinkle the chopped pecans on top.

Garnish

Add a sprig of mint for garnish and serve chilled.
