• Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Beat 6 egg whites in a large bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy; set yolks aside. Gradually beat in sugar until mixture holds soft peaks. Beat in flour gradually, then beat in milk, reserved egg yolks, melted butter, 4 teaspoons vanilla extract, and baking powder, beating in each ingredient thoroughly before adding the next. Pour batter into prepared baking pan.
• Bake in preheated oven until cake is browned and crusty on top, no more than 30 minutes. Let cake cool in pan for about 10 minutes before gently removing cake to finish cooling.
• Whisk sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and half-and-half in a bowl. Pour half the 3-milk mixture into a pan deeper and longer than the cake. Lay the cake into the milk mixture. Use a fork to score deep lines into the top of the cake and pour remaining 3-milk mixture over cake, allowing the mixture to soak in.

TRES LECHES CAKE

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.

TRES LECHE CAKE

Steps:

• 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.
• 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.;

CARAMEL TRES LECHES CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 160℃ and line your baking tray with some butter paper/parchment.
• In a bowl, cream together the egg yolks and sugar.
• To this, add the milk, oil, and vanilla and mix.
• Sift the flour and baking powder in this mixture
• In a clean, separate bowl whisking the egg whites and add some lemon juice to it. With your electric beater or a manual beater.
• Once the air starts incorporating in the egg whites, slowly add sugar and keep whisking for 5-6 minutes on medium speed. At this point, the egg whites will form soft peaks.
• Add one-fourth of the egg white mixture to the cake batter and slowly loosen the cake batter.
• Add another fourth of the whipped egg white and, now use the cut and fold technique to mix the two.
• Add the remaining egg whites to the cake batter and slowly cut and fold the mixture. We don't want to lose the air that we have in our batter.
• Now in a lined cake pan, pour your batter into half the cake it.Bake for 30 minutes at 160℃.
• Let the cake cool and then demould
• In a bowl, add sweetened condensed milk
• Fresh Cream
• Milk and mix
• For the caramel sauce, add the sugar and water to a pan, and at low heat, start cooking the sugar.
• Keep in mind that you don't need to stir the sugar mixture as this leads to the crystallization of the sugar.
• Once the sugar turns yellowish golden and yes, please be attentive because everything will go very fast from now, add the fresh cream and stir and turn off the gas.
• Now that we have all our components of the cake ready, we can assemble them.
• To have a clean, smooth top layer of cake, I turn my cake upside down and keep it back in the pan. By doing this, I avoid any scraps, and this just for our family and friend so no one will know.
• With a fork, poke the cake but be careful that you are not damaging the shape of your cake. Add the Tres Leches milk slowly with a spoon.
• Let the cake sit in the refrigerator for our or so. This will make sure that the sponge has soaked the Tres Leches and the cake is nice and cool.
• Add the caramel sauce at the top of the cake making and even layer at the top. And let it sit for 20 minutes.
• Now you can use your fresh cream and decorate it in whichever way you like.

MEXICAN TRES LECHES CAKE RECIPE

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.
