Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9×9 inch baking dish.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, alternating with the milk and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and heavy cream.
  • Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and pierce the top all over with a fork.
  • Slowly pour the milk mixture over the cake, making sure to evenly distribute it.
  • Let the cake cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to allow the milk mixture to soak in.
  • Serve the Tres Leches Cake chilled, and top with whipped cream and fresh fruit if desired.
  • Enjoy!
