Tres Leches Cake

Yield: 9”x13” pan

Preheat your oven to 350*F

• 1/2 cup Butter, soft

• 1 cup Sugar

• 1 teaspoon Vanilla

• 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon

• 1/2 teaspoon Salt

• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder

• 5 Eggs, separated

• 1 1/2 cups Flour

• 1 1/2 cups Milk

• 1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk

• 1 can Evaporated Milk

• 1 1/2 cups Whipping Cream

• 2 Tablespoons Sugar

• 1 teaspoon Rum (optional)

1. In the bowl of your mixer whip together your butter, sugar, salt, cinnamon, vanilla, baking power until light and fluffy.

2. Separate your eggs and add the egg yolks to the butter mixture and continue whipping until light and fluffy.

3. Add your flour and stir until combined.

4. In a separate bowl whip up your egg whites until medium firm peaks.

5. Fold the egg whites into the butter mixture in 2 additions. Folding gently so they don’t deflate too much!

6. Pour your batter into a greased 9”x13” pan, you don’t need to worry about lining the pan with parchment paper just a little baking spray is great!

7. Bake your cake in a preheated 350*F oven for about 25 minutes or until lightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean when poked into the middle.

8. While your cake is baking stir together your milk, sweetened condensed milk, and evaporated milk .

9. When your cake comes out of the oven, pos it ALL over with a fork so the milk has somewhere to soak into.

10. While the cake is still hot, pour ALL of the milk mixture on top of your cake as evenly as possible. It’s going to look like too much, but it’s going to soak in.

11. Let the cake cool at room temperature for about 30-60 minutes, then place into the fridge for at least an hour or ideally overnight.

12. Whip up your cream to soft peaks with the sugar and rum (if using).

13. Spread your cream on top of the cake and eat!
