EASY TRES LECHES CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat over to 350º.
• Grease or "pam" 9x12 baking pan.
• Beat eggs in a large bowl.
• Add water and cake mix and beat 3 minutes.
• Pour batter into pan.
• Bake for 30 minutes, or until cake has lost its jiggly center and springs back when touched.
• Let cool to room temperature.
• Mix the 3 milks.
• Poke cake full of holes. A chopstick works great for this. Don't skimp on the holes; that's what allows the cake to absorb the milks.
• Pour the milk mixture over the cake slowly, until it's absorbed the liquid.
• Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Serve as desired. If you're serving company, you might cover the cake with whipped cream and fruit; you might just drizzle heavy cream over each serving; you might puree a carton of frozen strawberries and use that as a base to serve slices on.

TRES LECHES CAKE WITH RUM-FRUIT TOPPING

Steps:

• Make the cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-by-13-inch glass or ceramic baking dish.
• Heat butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until butter browns, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla.
• Whisk egg whites, baking soda, and salt with a mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Add yolks, and whisk until combined. Reduce speed to medium. Add sugar in a slow, steady stream, and mix until combined. Using a rubber spatula, quickly and gently fold butter mixture into egg mixture.
• Combine flour and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sift 1/3 cup flour-cinnamon mixture over egg mixture, and gently fold to combine. Working quickly, sift remaining flour-cinnamon mixture over egg mixture in 2 additions, and gently fold to combine. Pour batter into prepared dish, and bake until golden and a tester inserted into center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the 3 milks in a medium bowl. Pour over cake as soon as it comes out of the oven. Transfer cake in dish to a wire rack to cool completely. Cover, and refrigerate overnight.
• Make the rum-fruit topping: Bring rum, sugar, and water to a boil in a small saucepan, and cook until sugar dissolves, 1 to 2 minutes. Let cool for 30 minutes. Toss syrup with fruit. Serve cake with rum-fruit mixture and whipped cream.

TRES LECHES: THREE MILK CAKE

Steps:

COCONUT TRES LECHES CAKE

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.

COCONUT TRES LECHES CAKE

• Add sugar to yolks, and beat on high speed with an electric mixer until pale yellow and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
• Clean beaters, and whip egg whites to medium peaks, about 1 1/2 minutes.
• Using a rubber spatula, stir about 1/3 of the egg whites into the yolk mixture to lighten it.
• Then gently fold in remaining whites.
• Whisk flour with a dry whisk to aerate and break up any lumps, then sprinkle it over egg mixture.
• Use a rubber spatula to gently fold flour into egg mixture, just until there are no more white flour streaks. Don't overmix.
• Pour batter into the buttered baking dish, and bake until cake is puffed and golden and the edges pull away from the sides of the pan, about 20 to 25 minutes.
• Remove cake from the oven and place on a wire cooling rack.
• With a toothpick, poke holes all over the cake.
• Allow to cool for 15 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together three milks and rum, and pour mixture evenly over cake.
• Continue cooling cake, about 45 minutes more, then cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
• For toasted coconut, heat a large frying pan over medium heat.
• Add coconut and spread it in an even layer.
• Cook, stirring often, until coconut is lightly toasted and browned.
• If coconut begins to burn, reduce heat.
• Remove from the pan immediately.
• To serve the cake, whip heavy cream and powdered sugar to medium peaks (If you like, flavor it with a teaspoon of dark rum.)
• Top each cake slice with a mound of whipped cream, and garnish with toasted coconut.
