This classic Latin American cake is soaked in a rich blend of three milks (or tres leches<\/em>). It\u2019s perfect for any celebration or simply as a special treat. Though creating this dessert requires a little patience, the process is straightforward, and the cake is made from everyday ingredients and simple techniques.<\/p>\n Topped with fluffy whipped cream and your choice of fresh fruit or caramel, this cake is sure to impress your family and friends. Whether you’re an experienced baker or a novice in the kitchen, this tres leches cake recipe just might become your go-to for its not-too-sweet flavor, creamy texture and impressive presentation.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper, then grease the parchment paper and set the pan aside.<\/p>\n In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks until slightly thickened. Gradually add 1\/3 cup of the sugar, beating on high speed until the mixture is thick and lemon-colored. Fold in the cake flour, a third at a time, until it’s fully incorporated.<\/p>\n Place the egg whites in another large bowl. Add the salt, and using clean beaters, beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 1\/3 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high speed after each addition until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture forms soft, glossy peaks.<\/p>\n Fold a third of the beaten egg whites into the yolk mixture to lighten it. Gently fold in the remaining egg whites until no streaks remain. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.<\/p>\n Bake the cake until the top springs back when lightly touched, 20 to 25 minutes. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it to a wire rack to cool completely.<\/p>\n Once the cake is completely cooled, place it on a rimmed serving plate. Poke holes all over the top of the cake with a skewer. In a small bowl, whisk together 3\/4 cup heavy whipping cream, the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract and rum extract. Slowly brush or pour the milk mixture over the cake, ensuring it soaks into the holes. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours.<\/p>\n Just before serving, beat the remaining 1-1\/4 cups heavy whipping cream in a large bowl until it begins to thicken. Gradually add 3 tablespoons of sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.<\/p>\n Spread the whipped cream evenly over the top of the soaked cake. If desired, top the cake with dulce de leche or fresh sliced strawberries just before slicing and serving.<\/p>\n The most common way to store a tres leches cake is by keeping it in the refrigerator, covered tightly with plastic wrap or in an airtight container. This helps maintain its moist texture and keeps the whipped cream topping fresh. It’s best to refrigerate the cake for at least a few hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.<\/p>\n Tres leches cake typically lasts up to two days when stored properly in the refrigerator, covered tightly with plastic wrap or kept in an airtight container.<\/p>\n Yes, you can freeze tres leches cake, but it’s best to do so without the whipped cream topping. First, allow the cake to soak in the milk mixture and then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, followed by a layer of aluminum foil. When you’re ready to serve, thaw the cake in the refrigerator overnight, then add the freshly whipped cream topping before serving. This helps maintain the cake’s texture and flavor.<\/p>\n If you don’t have rum extract or prefer not to use it, you can substitute it with an equal amount of vanilla extract or almond extract for a different but still pleasant flavor. Alternatively, a tablespoon of dark rum or brandy can be used if you don’t mind a touch of alcohol. If you’re looking for a nonalcoholic option with a similar depth of flavor, you can use a teaspoon of maple syrup or caramel extract.<\/p>\n While the traditional recipe uses heavy whipping cream, evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk, you can substitute these with other options based on your preferences or dietary needs. For a lighter version, you can use whole milk or half-and-half instead of heavy whipping cream. For a dairy-free option, coconut milk, almond milk or oat milk can replace the evaporated and regular milk. Sweetened condensed coconut milk can be used in place of the traditional sweetened condensed milk to maintain the cake’s sweetness and richness.<\/p>\n Several delicious toppings would complement a tres leches cake. Try using any fresh berries, chopped nuts or chocolate shavings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Experience the ultimate in creamy, dreamy
