Dairy products effectively neutralize the heat of chilies. Cool off after a spicy Mexican meal with this cake. This is my most requested tres leches recipe and the simplest to make!

Time 1h15m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 large eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
1 cup milk
1/4 cup Kahlua (or strong coffee)
1 teaspoon vanilla
lightly sweetened softly whipped cream
sliced strawberry

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, with a mixer on high speed (use whip attachment if available), beat eggs and sugar until thick and pale yellow, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, mix flour and baking powder.
  • With mixer on medium speed, gradually add flour mixture in small increments and beat until smooth.
  • Scrape batter into a buttered 9 by 13 inch baking pan.
  • Bake in a 325 degree oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a blender, whirl condensed milk, evaporated milk, regular milk, Kahlua, and vanilla until well blended.
  • Pour evenly over hot cake; let cool about 15 minutes, then cover and chill until cake has absorbed all the milk mixture, at least 3 hours, or up to 1 day.
  • Cut cake into squares or rectangles, lift out with a wide spatula, and set on plates.
  • Top each piece of cake with a spoonful of whipped cream and garnish with strawberries.

I followed the recipe exactly and my cake turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.
