TRES LECHES DE RON CON CHOCOLATE



Tres Leches de Ron con Chocolate image

This is another cake that I developed when I worked at Rosa Mexicano, and it quickly became one of the most popular desserts. We used to serve it with caramelized bananas, whipped cream, and chocolate sauce, all on the side. I have since tweaked the recipe a bit, by adding some chocolate to the tres leches mixture itself, instead of having a separate sauce, and by layering the cake with whipped cream.

Yield serves 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 24

3/4 cup water
2 teaspoons instant coffee crystals
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, preferably Dutch processed
1 3/4 cups cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups sugar
5 egg yolks
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
8 egg whites
Pinch of salt
3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup half-and-half
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
Pinch of salt
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup dark rum
1 1/3 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup confectioner's sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, or 1/2 vanilla bean, scraped
1 (2- to 4-ounce) piece semisweet chocolate, for shaving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F.
  • TO MAKE THE CAKE, bring the water to a boil and stir in the instant coffee, mixing until it dissolves. Put the cocoa in a heatproof bowl and pour the hot coffee into it, whisking until there are no lumps; set aside to cool.
  • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and half of the sugar. In a separate bowl, combine the egg yolks, oil, and vanilla. Add the cooled cocoa mixture and gently stir with a whisk until smooth. Pour the egg mixture into the large bowl with the flour mixture, whisking until the batter is smooth. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with the salt and the cream of tartar until it starts to thicken. Add the remaining half of the sugar gradually and continue beating until stiff and glossy peaks form.
  • Stir about one-third of the egg whites into the batter to lighten the mixture, then add the remaining egg whites in two parts, folding gently but making sure everything is well incorporated. Divide the batter into 2 ungreased 9-inch pans and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. As soon as they come out of the oven, unmold the cakes onto a wire rack, and let them sit until cool. Remove the pans and prepare the tres leches mixture.
  • TO MAKE THE TRES LECHES, bring the half-and-half to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Put the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl and pour the hot half-and-half over. Allow to sit for a minute, then stir with a whisk until smooth. Whisk in the evaporated milk, salt, condensed milk, and rum, blending well. Put the cakes in a deep dish or back into their baking pans and pour the warm mixture over them. Be sure to pour any liquid that dripped down the sides on top of the cakes as well. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours, or freeze for 30 to 40 minutes, so they are easier to handle.
  • TO MAKE THE FILLING, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer or by hand until slightly thickened. Add the confectioner's sugar and vanilla and continue beating until thickened and smooth. Refrigerate until the cakes have cooled.
  • To assemble the cake, put one of the cakes on a piece of cardboard or a serving platter and spread about one-third of the filling evenly on top. Top with the second cake and cover the top and sides with the remaining filling. Holding the chocolate with a paper towel in one hand, use a peeler to shave the chocolate onto the cake.

CHOCOLATE TRES LECHES CAKE



Chocolate Tres Leches Cake image

This recipe looks hard, but it's not. Promise. A very easy chocolate cake is transformed into a version of tres leches cake, the classic Latin American dessert, by drenching it with evaporated milk, condensed milk and heavy cream and topping it with a lightly sweetened whipped cream. Each component of this recipe - the cake, the tres leches and the whipped cream - are all adapted from "Simple Cake: All You Need to Keep Your Friends and Family in Cake" by Odette Williams, a choose-your-own-adventure cookbook that provides you with several cake and toppings recipes that you can combine as you wish. Ms. Williams's recipe doesn't call for it, but adding a teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the whipped cream is a lovely addition.

Time 50m

Yield One 9-by-13 inch cake (about 12 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 3/4 cups/225 grams all-purpose flour
1/2 cup/45 grams unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 1/2 cups/300 grams granulated sugar
2 eggs, at room temperature
1 cup/240 milliliters whole milk
1/2 cup/120 milliliters grapeseed oil or any mild-flavored oil
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup/240 milliliters boiling water
1 (12-ounce) can/355 milliliters evaporated milk
1 (14-ounce) can/395 milliliters sweetened condensed milk (3 tablespoons reserved for the whipped cream)
1 cup/240 milliliters heavy cream
Scraped seeds of 1 vanilla bean or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
1 cup/240 milliliters heavy cream, chilled
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Chocolate shavings (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease the bottom only of a 9-by-13-inch cake pan (preferably metal), leaving a 1/4-inch border that remains ungreased. Do not butter the sides of the pan.
  • Place a large sifter or a sieve in a large bowl. Add the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt and sift. Add the sugar and whisk to combine.
  • In another large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, oil and vanilla until combined. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until there are no lumps and the batter is smooth. Carefully pour in the boiling water and stir until combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake in the center of the oven until a wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out clean and the cake bounces back when lightly pressed, about 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the tres leches: In a large bowl, combine the evaporated milk, condensed milk (setting 3 tablespoons aside for the whipped cream), heavy cream and vanilla bean seeds or extract (if using) and whisk to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate if not using immediately.
  • Remove the cake from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes. Run a butter knife around the cake's edges. Cool completely.
  • While the cake is still in the pan, use a skewer or a fork to poke small holes through the cake to the bottom, about an inch apart. Slowly spoon the tres leches over the top of the cake, giving it time to soak in. Once the liquid is absorbed, repeat until all the tres leches is used. (Toward the end, the tres leches will pool at the edges, but don't worry; it will be absorbed while in the fridge.) Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 5 to 6 hours, preferably overnight.
  • When ready to serve, make the whipped cream: Add the reserved condensed milk along with the cream, vanilla and cinnamon (if using) to the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat on medium high until the cream has doubled in volume, forms soft peaks and is light and fluffy. Spread the cake with the cream and sprinkle the chocolate shavings on top. Serve from the pan.

Time 1h55m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (18.25 ounce) package Swiss chocolate cake mix (such as Duncan Hines®)
1 ¼ cups chocolate milk
½ cup canola oil
3 eggs
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

¾ cup evaporated milk
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a 9x13-inch pan with butter and flour.
  • Beat cake mix, chocolate milk, canola oil, eggs, and espresso powder together in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer on a low speed until dry ingredients are moistened. Increase speed to medium and continue beating another 2 minutes; pour into prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Remove cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan until it is no longer hot to the touch. While the cake is still warm, poke lots of holes all over the cake with a small skewer or a fork.
  • Whisk sweetened condensed milk, half-and-half, evaporated milk, and 3 tablespoons cocoa powder together in a bowl until cocoa is mostly incorporated into the liquid; slowly pour the milk mixture evenly over the cake. Allow the cake to cool completely as the liquid soaks into it.
  • Sift confectioners' sugar and cocoa powder together in a bowl.
  • Beat heavy whipping cream in a stand mixer on medium speed for about 1 minute. While continuing to mix, add sugar-and-cocoa mixture to the cream in 2 batches, allowing the first to incorporate before adding the second. Increase mixer speed to medium-high; beat until soft peaks form and the cream is thickened and spreadable. Spread chocolate whipped cream on the cake to serve.

  • Don't overbeat the egg whites. Overbeaten egg whites will make your cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before pouring the tres leches mixture over it. This will help the cake absorb the mixture evenly.
  • Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This will give the cake time to soak up all the flavors.
  • Garnish the cake with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh fruit before serving.
