Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9 by13-inch cake pan with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, add the cake mix, 1 cup evaporated milk, oil, and eggs. Using an electric hand mixer on medium speed, beat for 2 minutes until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, remaining evaporated milk, and 1/4 cup cream. Using a fork, poke holes all over the cake. Pour the milk mixture evenly over the cake. Place in the refrigerator until the liquid absorbs into the cake, at least 1 hour or overnight.

- Slice the cake and serve with a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with toasted coconut.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Lightly oil and line the base and sides of a 20cm square cake tin.
- Put the egg whites in a large bowl with a pinch of salt. Beat with an electric hand whisk until foamy, about 3 mins. Keep mixing while you add 150g of the sugar, a spoonful at a time, until thick and glossy.
- In another bowl, mix the egg yolks, remaining sugar and vanilla (no need to clean the beaters first) for 2 mins, or until pale and foamy. Add the flour, baking powder and milk to the egg yolks, and use a spatula to fold everything together.
- Add a large spoonful of egg white to the cake mix, beat together to loosen the mixture, then gently fold through the remaining egg whites with a large metal spoon (being careful not to over-stir so you don't knock out too much air), until you have a smooth batter.
- Pour into the tin, smooth the top and bake for 40-45 mins until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Mix together the evaporated milk, condensed milk and 3 tbsp of the cream.
- Leave the cake to cool for 10 mins in the tin, then ease a knife around the sides. Poke holes over the surface with a skewer, then pour over half the milk mixture. After 5 mins or so, most of it should have soaked into the cake. Leave for another 5 mins, then transfer to a plate and pour over some of the remaining milk until it starts to leak a little. (Any leftover milk that won't soak into the cake can be served on the side.) Leave to cool.
- Whip the remaining cream and icing sugar together until holding soft peaks. Spread the cream over the cake and sprinkle with a little cinnamon. Can be made and chilled a day ahead. Serve in squares with any remaining soaking milk.

SPOOKY CHOCOLATE TRES LECHES CAKE
A tres leches cake is a sponge cake with three different kinds of milk poured over top that get absorbed (hence the name sponge). This version gets spooked up thanks to the addition of black cocoa, which gets its darker color from being heavily Dutched (neutralized to be less acidic). Some think it is a little milder in chocolate flavor than natural cocoa powder. It is used here because it makes the cake stark black without relying on food coloring. Topped with ghosts made from a simple Swiss meringue, this cake is perfect for a Halloween celebration.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch round cake pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- For the cake: Sift the flour, black cocoa, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl. Combine the eggs, sugar and vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium-high speed until very light yellow and fluffy, about 10 minutes (really!). Reduce the speed to low and slowly add half of the flour mixture, then all the buttermilk and finally the remaining flour mixture, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top and bake until the cake springs back when touched lightly and a toothpick or cake tester comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 30 minutes. Keep the cake in the pan and place on a plate that's larger than the pan.
- Whisk the heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk in a large liquid measuring cup or medium bowl until smooth. Poke a lot of holes all over the cake using a wooden skewer. Slowly pour 1/3 of the milk mixture over the cake, letting most of it get absorbed before pouring more. Repeat this step twice more until the milk mixture is gone. Cover the pan and refrigerate until the milk is completely soaked in (you will see some residual milk on the top and a little on the sides), about 6 hours, up to overnight.
- Invert the cake onto a large rimmed plate that can hold the excess soaking liquid. Pour the excess liquid into a container with a spout and set aside. Carefully invert the cake, domed-side up, onto a cake stand or platter. Drizzle with the reserved soaking liquid. Decorate the platter with Halloween sprinkles, if desired.
- Make the Swiss meringue: Just before serving, bring a few inches of water to a boil in a saucepan that can hold a heatproof stand mixer's bowl above the water, but not touching the water.
- Whisk the sugar, egg whites, vanilla and salt in the stand mixer bowl. Set the bowl above the boiling water and continue to whisk constantly until the sugar has dissolved and the egg whites are slightly frothy, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to the stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat at medium-high speed until the meringue is cool and can hold very stiff peaks, about 6 minutes.
- Transfer the meringue to a pastry bag fitted with a large round piping tip (see Cook's Note). Pipe 2- to-3-inch mounds all around the cake rim and in the middle, leaving a pointy tip at the top of each for the ghost head, about 14 total. Using tweezers or your fingers, add 2 mini chocolate chips, pointed-side out, to each face for the eyes; and 1 chip, pointed-side in, for the mouth.

Steps:
- To make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease and flour a 9 by 13-inch baking dish and set aside.
- In the bowl of a mixer, beat the egg whites on low speed until soft peaks form. Add the sugar gradually with the mixer running and peak to stiff peaks. Add the egg yolks 1 at a time, beating well after the addition of each.
- Sift together the flour and baking powder and add to the egg mixture, alternating with the milk. (Do this quickly so the batter does not lose volume.) Add the vanilla. Bake until golden, 25 minutes.
- To make the cream topping: In a blender, combine the evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream and blend on high speed.
- Remove the cake from the oven and while still warm, pour the cream mixture over it. Let sit and cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled, at least 4 hours or overnight.
- To make the icing: Once the cake is completely chilled, in a saucepan combine the water and sugar. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and stir to dissolve the sugar. Cook until the mixture reaches the soft ball stage, 235 to 240 degrees F. Remove from the heat. In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites to soft peaks. While beating, add the hot syrup in a stream. Beat until all the syrup has been added, the mixture cools, and a glossy icing forms.
- To assemble: Remove the cake from the refrigerator and spread the icing evenly across the top. Arrange the mango and papaya slices over the top and serve.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a medium size bowl whip the eggs and sugar until very light and fluffy. Add in the zest and gently fold in the flour. Pour the batter into a greased 10-inch round cake pan and bake until golden, about 20 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan and allow to cool. Return the cake to the pan.
- To make the milk mixture, pour all of the ingredients into a medium size pot and bring to a boil.
- To assemble the cake, use a small cup and pour the hot milk mixture over the cake and allow to soak for at least 30 minutes, pressing down on the cake to make sure it is absorbing the milk mixture. To garnish the cake, whip the heavy cream and top the cake with the whipped cream. Add the berries decoratively.

OATMEAL TRES LECHES BARS
This is a recipe I made up when I wanted the flavor of Tres Leches without a whole cake. The "secret" ingredient is cream of coconut, which is different than coconut milk. Cream of coconut can be found in the beverage aisle under the brand name "Coco Lopez".
