The Pioneer Woman's Tres Leches Cake Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by Niecer

Number Of Ingredients 13

FOR THE ICING:
1 cup all-purpose Flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon Salt
5 whole eggs
1 cup sugar, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup milk
1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened, condensed milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 pint heavy cream, for whipping
3 tablespoons sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F Spray a 9x13-inch pan liberally until coated. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Separate eggs. Beat egg yolks with 3/4 cup sugar on high speed until yolks are pale yellow. Stir in milk and vanilla. Pour egg yolk mixture over the flour mixture and stir very gently until combined. Beat egg whites on high speed until soft peaks form. With the mixer on, pour in remaining 1/4 cup sugar and beat until egg whites are stiff but not dry. Fold egg white mixture into the batter very gently until just combined. Pour into prepared pan and spread to even out the surface. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Turn cake out onto a rimmed platter and allow to cool. Combine condensed milk, evaporated milk, and heavy cream in a small pitcher. When cake is cool, pierce the surface with a fork several times. Slowly drizzle all but about 1 cup of the milk mixture-try to get as much around the edges of the cake as you can. Allow the cake to absorb the milk mixture for 30 minutes. To ice the cake, whip 1 pint heavy cream with 3 tablespoons of sugar until thick and spreadable. Spread over the surface of the cake. Decorate cake with whole or chopped maraschino cherries. Cut into squares and serve. Share this Post

I've tried a few different Tres Leches Cake recipes, but this one is by far the best. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the frosting is creamy and delicious.

This Tres Leches Cake was a disaster! The cake was dry and the frosting was grainy. I would not recommend this recipe.

Overall, this Tres Leches Cake was good, but not great. The cake was moist and the frosting was creamy, but I found the flavor to be a bit bland.

This Tres Leches Cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved it. The cake was moist and the frosting was creamy, but I think I would have preferred a less sweet frosting.
