Preheat
oven to 375° F. Butter and
flour a 9 x 13 inch pan or a
glass Pyrex if you'd rather not
remove the
Tres Leches
bread from the pan.
Ingredients:
Tres Leches Cake
1 cups
all-purpose flour sifted
6 eggs separated
½ cup granulated sugar
Tres Leches Topping
2 cups whole milk
1 can of sweetened, condensed milk
1 can evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons sugar
Beat half the
sugar and all egg whites until
mixture peaks at a medium to high
speed.
In another bowl
beat the remaining sugar with the
egg yolks until you get a light
yellow mixture.
Slowly add the
sifted flour and beat until you
obtain a smooth batter.
Pour batter
into the baking pan. Bake for 15 to
20 minutes, until a toothpick comes
out clean when inserted in
center of cake.
Cool down to
room temperature. Prick the entire
top of the cake with a fork. This
will enable the Tres Leches
mixture to be fully absorbed
by the bread.
Tres Leches
Topping
In a blender,
mix evaporated, condensed, whole
milk and sugar.
Slowly pour the Tres Leches
mixture all over the cake let stand
for at least 30 minutes in the
refrigerator. (It can be left in
refrigerator over night.)
Beat the whipping cream, vanilla and
two tablespoons sugar until it forms
peaks. Spread the whipped
cream over the cake and chill before
serving.
