Baileys Red Velvet Tres Leches Cake Food

BAILEY'S TRES LECHES CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F/180C and grease a 9X13 inch baking pan.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment or a large bowl with a handheld electric mixer beat the egg whites on high, until foamy, then add 50 Grams (1/4 Cup) sugar and beat until you have stiff whites. Scoop into a clean bowl and set aside.
• In the dirty mixing bowl with the whisk attachment combine egg yolks and 150 Grams (3/4 Cup) of sugar, mix on medium until very, very light in color. Then add in milk and vanilla extract, mix until just combined. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Pour the egg yolk mixture on top of the flour mixture. Gently fold together until no more flour streaks.
• Gently fold stiff egg whites into the cake batter. Fold until just combined, don't over mix. Pour cake batter into prepared pan. Bake for 32-37 minutes, until golden brown and if you stick a toothpick in it comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely.
• Using a fork poke the cake numerous times, the more holes the better! In a large bowl combine Bailey's Irish Cream, heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk. Pour the milk mixture all over the cake. Pour slowly, some liquid will pool but most will be absorbed into the cake. Let sit for 30 minutes covered in the refrigerator.
• Then in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment or a large bowl with a handheld electric whisk beat heavy cream, Bailey's Irish Cream, and sugar until medium-thick stiff peaks are formed. Spread on top of the cake and garnish with berries. Keep refrigerated for at least 3-4 hours before serving, the more time the milk has to soak in the better. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days.

BAILEYS RED VELVET TRES LECHES CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8x8x2-inch baking dish; line the bottom with a parchment paper square.
• In a small bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer on high speed, beat the sugar and eggs until very light and fluffy, 5 to 7 minutes. Add half of the dry ingredients. Beat on low speed just to blend. Beat in the milk, then the remaining dry ingredients, just until blended. Transfer to the cake pan; smooth the top.
• Bake until the top springs back when pressed and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, whisk 1 1/4 cups Baileys, 1 cup cream, evaporated milk, and vanilla. Using a skewer, poke lots of holes all over the cake, all the way to the bottom. Pour half of the Baileys mixture over the cake and let stand for 10 minutes. Pour the remaining Baileys mixture over and let cool completely. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours and up to 2 days.
• Run a knife around the edge of the pan. Place a plate on top of the pan; carefully invert the cake onto the plate; remove the parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in the remaining 1/4 cup Baileys Red Velvet. Beat in the remaining 1 cup cream until firm peaks form. Spoon on top of the cake. Top with strawberries.
