Tres Leches Recipe

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Cake

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

2. 2

   Mix Dry Ingredients

   In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

3. 3

   Cream Butter and Sugar

   In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

4. 4

   Combine Mixtures

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the whole milk, until fully incorporated.

5. 5

   Bake the Cake

   Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

6. 6

   Prepare the Milk Mixture

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

7. 7

   Soak the Cake

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

8. 8

   Chill the Cake

   Cover and refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
