Time 45m

Yield 16-20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon vegetable shortening
2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, divided
6 large eggs, separated
2 cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup whole milk
1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
2 (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
3 cups heavy cream, divided
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Position rack in bottom 1/3 of oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Lightly grease a 13 by 9-inch baking pan with the shortening. Add 1 tablespoon of the flour to the greased pan and shake it around to coat the entire pan with the flour. Shake out excess flour. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form. Reduce the speed to low and gradually add the sugar with the mixer running, beating until stiff peaks form.
  • Add the egg yolks, 1 at a time, beating well after each egg is added.
  • In a small mixing bowl, sift together the 2 cups flour and baking powder.
  • Add the flour mixture to the batter in stages, alternating with the whole milk, beginning and ending with the flour. (Do this quickly so that the batter does not lose its volume.)
  • Add 1 teaspoon of the vanilla extract.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and place in the oven. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes.
  • In a blender, combine the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and 2 cups of the heavy cream. Cover and blend on high for 45 seconds.
  • Remove 1 1/2 cups of the milk mixture, cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve the cake.
  • Pour 1/2 of the remaining milk mixture over the warm cake.
  • When the cake has soaked up most of the liquid, pour the remaining half of the milk mixture over the cake, and cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled, at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • When ready to serve, beat the remaining cup of heavy cream in the electric mixer until soft peaks form. Add the confectioners' sugar and remaining 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla, and beat until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the chilled cake.
  • Serve the cake with the reserved chilled milk sauce.

Categories     dessert

Time 7h20m

Yield 9 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup plus 5 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup whole milk
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract
Seeds scraped from 1 vanilla bean
8 cups mixed fresh raspberries and sliced strawberries, for serving
Sifted confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Make-Ahead Whipped Cream (recipe follows)
1 1/2 cups cold heavy cream
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons creme fraiche
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking pan.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a small bowl and set aside. Place the eggs, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and the vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium-high speed for 10 minutes (really!) until light yellow and fluffy. Reduce the speed to low and slowly add half the flour mixture, then the milk, and finally the remaining flour mixture. Mix with a rubber spatula to be sure the batter is well mixed. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake for 25 minutes, until the cake springs back when touched lightly in the middle and a cake tester comes out clean. Set aside to cool in the pan for 30 minutes.
  • In a 4-cup liquid measuring cup, whisk together the heavy cream, evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, almond extract, and vanilla seeds. Using a bamboo skewer, poke holes all over the cooled cake and slowly pour the cream mixture over the cake, allowing it to be absorbed completely before continuing to pour on more of the mixture. Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
  • To serve, toss the fruit with the 5 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Dust the cake with confectioners' sugar, cut in squares, and place on dessert plates. Surround the cake with the fruit, put a dollop of Make-Ahead Whipped Cream on top, and serve.
  • Place the cream, confectioners' sugar, granulated sugar, creme fraiche, and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on high speed, until it forms soft peaks. Serve cold.

THE BEST TRES LECHES CAKE



The Best Tres Leches Cake image

This is SO GOOD! It's a moist, rich, sweet and yummy cake, made with a simple sauce that is poured over it, and slowly seeps into it. Leaving you with heaven in every bite. "Tres Leche" means three milks therefor, this cake has three different types of milk: condensed, evaporated and regular milk. The top of the cake is ugly, because you have to poke holes in it, so I like to top it with whipped topping, and berries. Try it!

Time 3h45m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon vegetable shortening, or as needed
1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
3 eggs
1 cup cold water
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup half-and-half
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon white sugar, or to taste
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously grease a 10x15-inch baking pan with vegetable shortening.
  • Combine yellow cake mix, eggs, water, vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl. Beat with electric mixer until very smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Scrape batter into the prepared baking pan. Smooth the top of the batter, shake pan, and tap lightly on counter 2 or 3 times to eliminate air bubbles.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean, about 22 minutes. Let cake cool in the pan at least 30 minutes. Poke holes all over the cake with a bamboo skewer or the handle of a wooden spoon.
  • Combine evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and half-and-half in a large bowl; slowly pour milk syrup all over the cake. Syrup will soak into cake. Wrap cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 3 hours (or preferably overnight).

Tips:

  • Use a 9x13 inch baking dish for the cake to ensure it bakes evenly.
  • Make sure the evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream are cold before using them. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
  • When making the frosting, beat the cream until stiff peaks form. This will help the frosting hold its shape.
  • Pour the frosting over the cooled cake and spread it evenly. You can use a spatula or a piping bag to do this.
  • Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the frosting to set and the cake to absorb the tres leches mixture.

Conclusion:

This tres leches cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist, fluffy texture and rich, creamy frosting, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
