Pumpkin Tres Leches Cake image

My birthday is at the end of October and this is my absolute favorite birthday cake. It is not soupy but extremely moist and delicious. I poke the holes with a straw, my daughter uses a pencil. Both work well. Make it the day before, so it can absorb the three milks.

Time 2h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 cups white sugar
1 cup butter, at room temperature
4 eggs
1 ½ cups canned pumpkin
1 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup evaporated milk
1 cup half-and-half
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
2 cups whipped topping
1 pinch ground cinnamon, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch rectangular baking pan.
  • Combine sugar and butter in a large bowl using an electric mixer. Add eggs one at a time. Add pumpkin, sour cream, and vanilla extract to the batter while still mixing.
  • Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger in a bowl. Add 1/2 of the mixture to the pumpkin batter and mix until well combined. Add remaining flour mixture to the batter and mix on medium-high speed for 2 minutes more. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine evaporated milk, half-and-half, and sweetened condensed milk in a bowl. Set tres leches aside.
  • Remove cake from the oven and let cool 15 to 20 minutes. Poke a generous amount of holes in the cake using a drinking straw, making sure to get the corners and sides as well. Pour tres leches mixture on the cake, cover with plastic wrap, and cool in the refrigerator for 1 hour to overnight.
  • Before serving, add whipped topping to the cake and sprinkle cinnamon on top.

The cake was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.
