Tres Leches Cake
A light vanilla sponge absorbs three kinds of milk, then gets a simple whipped-cream topping for a cool family dessert.
Step by step
Method
- 1
Heat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
- 2
Beat yolks with ¾ cup sugar until pale. Mix in whole milk and vanilla, then fold in the dry ingredients.
- 3
Beat whites to soft peaks, add the remaining sugar, and beat to firm peaks. Fold gently into the batter.
- 4
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Cool, poke the cake all over, and slowly pour over the three-milk mixture.
- 5
Refrigerate at least 4 hours. Top with softly whipped cream and optional strawberries or cinnamon.
Pour the milk mixture slowly in several passes so the cake absorbs it evenly without breaking.
