Steps:
- Preheat oven to 356 degrees F and bring eggs to room temperature for easier beating. Separate egg whites and egg yolks into two small bowls.
- Sift flour using a fine mesh strainer or flour sifter.
- Pour egg yolks, vanilla and 1/2 cup sugar into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, or use a hand mixer.
- Beat egg yolks until uniform, smooth, pale yellow and doubled in volume. Pour mixture into a separate bowl.
- Wash and dry the stand mixing bowl and whisk, add egg whites to the bowl and beat on high speed. This is the secret to a light and spongy cake.
- Slowly add half of the remaining sugar and beat until soft peaks form.
- Add remaining sugar and beat on high until stiff peaks form. Mixture should be light and fluffy and stick to the whisk attachment or beaters when scooped from the bowl.
- Gather your three bowls: one with flour, one with egg white mixture, and the other with the egg yolk mixture. Using the egg yolk mixture as your main mixing bowl, you'll add flour and then egg white mixture little by little, alternating as you fold into the batter.
- First, add two tablespoons of flour to the egg yolk mixture.
- Fold flour into the yolk mixture.
- Add a scoop of the egg white mixture to your main mixing bowl.
- Gently fold into the flour mixture.
- Add more flour.
- Fold into the cake batter.
- Add more egg white mixture.
- Gently fold in the egg white.
- Continue alternating and folding in flour and egg white until you've added everything to the main bowl. Mixture will become lighter in color as you add ingredients and the final cake batter should be smooth, thick and fluffy.
- Grease and flour an 8 1/2 or 9 inch pan. Use a pastry brush to spread the butter in the round cake pan.
- Place a cookie sheet under your cake pan. Then, pour the tres leches cake mix into the prepared pan.
- Use the spatula to scrape the batter from sides of the bowl into the pan.
- Smooth the top of your cake evenly with the spatula.
- Place your cake on the center rack of the oven and bake at 356 degrees F for 40-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven, let sit five minutes, and then turn the cake out onto a wire rack to cool.
- Line the cooled cake pan with plastic wrap. You're going to place the cake back in the pan and then cover, so be sure you leave enough wrap on the sides to do so.
- Carefully place your cake bottom up into the lined baking pan.
- Gather your condensed milk, evaporated milk and light cream (or table cream) in separate bowls, as well as a large bowl, measuring cup and wire whisk.
- Pour the cream into the measuring cup.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk.
- Pour in the evaporated milk.
- Empty the measuring cup contents into a large bowl.
- Whisk the three milks until combined, and then pour back into the measuring cup.
- Using a fork, poke holes into the cooled tres leches cake.
- Pour the milk mixture into the holes and all over the surface of the cake. Don't forget the edges.
- Lift and fold over the flaps of the plastic wrap to cover the soaked cake.
- Once your cake is completely covered, place in the refrigerator and let rest for at least 8 hours. Overnight is best.
- Once the cake has rested, make the whipped topping. Gather your ingredients: heavy whipping cream, clear vanilla extract, sugar and vanilla pudding mix.
- Fit your stand mixer with the whisk attachment. Then add the whipping cream to the mixing bowl.
- Pour in the sugar and vanilla extract. The frosting uses a clear vanilla extract to keep it from changing color.
- Pour in the vanilla pudding mix.The pudding creates a stabilized whipped cream so you won't have to worry about it melting all over your cake in the refrigerator.
- Whip the cream on medium speed until soft peaks form. Take care not to over beat. If you do so, the cream could separate. The cream should be light and fluffy.
- Remove your tres leches cake from the refrigerator and prepare a serving dish or cake pedestal.
- Turn out your cake into the center of the dish.
- Carefully separate the pan from the cake.
- Slowly unwrap the plastic wrap by folding the wrap over itself.
- Remove the plastic wrap completely from the cake.
- Frost the sides of the cake with the whipped topping using a frosting spatula.
- Carefully frost the top of the cake, being careful not to let the spatula touch the cake directly. You don't want the cake crumbs to show up on your beautifully frosted cake.
- Gather your garnishes. If you're using strawberries, slice them in half and make a ring around the center of the cake, pressing the tops of the berries gently into the cake, cut side up. Fill in the ring with more strawberries, then sprinkle with raspberries and blueberries. Serve cold.
G'S TRES LECHES CAKE
A dense yet light dessert better served cold and a day or two old. Room temperature + (over 80 degrees F) is a must for making this cake! You really have to plan this one for something special as far as I'm concerned. It's sooo much better put together and let set for a day or two in the fridge, covered.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
- Cream 1 1/2 cup sugar and unsalted butter in a large bowl until mixture is fluffy and pale yellow, 3 to 5 minutes. Mix 6 egg yolks into the butter mixture, stirring in each one before adding the next. Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl; gradually stir the flour mixture into the egg yolk mixture, alternating with 1 1/2 cup milk, to make a smooth batter. Stir in almond extract.
- Beat 6 egg whites with cream of tartar in a bowl with an electric mixer until frothy; gradually beat in 2 tablespoons sugar until the egg whites form stiff peaks. Gently fold the egg white mixture into the batter, retaining as much volume as possible. Pour the cake batter into prepared baking pan.
- Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Cool cake completely in pan on a rack.
- Whisk sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and 2 tablespoons whole milk in a bowl. Use a large fork or skewer to poke holes all over the cake; pour the three-milk mixture over the cake.
- Beat cream with 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until the whipped cream holds stiff peaks. Top the cake with whipped cream; refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour. Refrigerate leftovers. Cake is better a day or two after making.

Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9- by 13-inch cake pan.
- Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl.
- Separate the eggs. Beat the egg yolks with 3/4 cup of the sugar on high speed until the yolks are pale yellow. Stir in the milk and vanilla. Pour the egg yolk mixture over the flour mixture and stir very gently until combined.
- Beat the egg whites on high speed until soft peaks form. With the mixer on, pour in the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and beat until the egg whites are stiff but not dry. Fold the egg white mixture into the batter very gently until just combined. Spoon into the prepared pan and spread to even out the surface.
- Bake until the cake is done, 35 to 40 minutes. Allow to cool in the pan, and then turn out (upside down) onto a rimmed platter.
- For the tres leches: Combine the heavy cream, evaporated milk and condensed milk in a small pitcher. Pierce the surface of the cake with a fork several times. Drizzle the milk mixture over the top and allow the cake to sit and absorb the milk mixture. Don't worry about totally soaking the cake! That's what you want.
- For the icing: Whip the cream with the sugar. Spread it evenly over the top and sides of the soaked cake and decorate with maraschino cherries.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve. Several hours is fine. The cooler the cake, the better!

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.

COCONUT TRES LECHES CAKE
Tres Leches Cake, popularized in many Latin countries, is one of my favorite cakes; sweet, super moist and rich, but not heavy. It's typically made with a yellow or white cake that gets soaked with three types of milk: evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk and whole milk or cream, and topped with fluffy whipped cream. I wanted to make a non-dairy version, so I went with a blend of almond and coconut milk and topped it with coconut whipped topping. It gives this cake a tasty and unique flavor twist. I also opted for a box cake mix for the batter to save time. I hope you love it as much as I do!

Steps:
- Bake the cake in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, following the package instructions. Let cool for 30 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond milk, sweetened condensed coconut milk, coconut milk and vanilla.
- Poke holes all over the cake. Pour the milk mixture over the top, a little at a time, letting it soak, so that the liquid doesn't overflow. Cover and let soak in the refrigerator for at least 10 or up to 24 hours. (The cake should have absorbed all of the liquid, and there should be no liquid pooled on the top or sides.)
- Spread the whipped cream evenly over the cake, then sprinkle the toasted coconut all over the top. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Steps:
- For the cake:.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly oil and flour a 13 by 9-inch metal pan and set aside.
- Whisk together the cake flour, baking powder and salt in a medium mixing bowl and set aside.
- Place the butter into the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the paddle attachment, beat on medium speed until fluffy, approximately 1 minute. Decrease the speed to low and with the mixer still running, gradually add the sugar over 1 minute. Stop to scrape down the sides of the bowl, if necessary. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and mix to thoroughly combine. Add the vanilla extract and mix to combine. Add the flour mixture to the batter in 3 batches and mix just until combined. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and spread evenly. This will appear to be a very small amount of batter. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the cake is lightly golden and reaches an internal temperature of 200 degrees F.
- Remove the cake pan to a cooling rack and allow to cool for 30 minutes. Poke the top of the cake all over with a skewer or fork. Allow the cake to cool completely and then prepare the glaze.
- For the glaze:.
- Whisk together the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk and the half-and-half in a 1-quart measuring cup. Once combined, pour the glaze over the cake. Refrigerate the cake overnight.
- Topping:.
- Place the heavy cream, sugar and vanilla into the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the whisk attachment, whisk together on low until stiff peaks are formed. Change to medium speed and whisk until thick. Spread the topping over the cake and allow to chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
