Ingredients

For the cake, you will need the following ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
5 large eggs, separated
1 cup sugar
⅓ cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the milk mixture you will need:

1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 cup heavy cream

And for the topping:

1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fresh fruit or chocolate shavings for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking dish.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks with ¾ cup sugar until the mixture is pale and creamy. Stir in the whole milk and vanilla.
Gently fold in the flour mixture until just combined.
In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining sugar, beating until stiff peaks form.
Carefully fold the egg whites into the cake batter until well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and heavy cream.
Once the cake has cooled, use a fork to pierce the top of the cake, allowing the milk mixture to soak in. Pour the milk mixture evenly over the cake and let it sit for at least 1 hour.
For the topping, beat the heavy whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla together until soft peaks form. Spread it over the soaked cake and garnish with fresh fruit or chocolate shavings, if desired.

Slice and serve your Tres Leches Cake chilled. Enjoy this truly luxurious dessert and watch as everyone falls in love with its rich flavors!
