Tres Leches Cake
Method
Preparation Instructions
Bake the Cake
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking dish. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Make the Whipped Cream
In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the pureed strawberries to create a strawberry crema.
Assemble the Cake
Once the cake has cooled and soaked up the milk, spread the strawberry crema evenly over the top. Garnish with dark chocolate shavings.
Serve
Slice the cake and serve chilled. Enjoy your delicious Tres Leches with strawberry crema and dark chocolate!
