Tres Leches Cake

A tender vanilla sponge soaked with three milks until creamy and lush, then finished with softly whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon. This classic Mexican dessert is best made ahead so the cake has time to absorb the soak.

Cómo preparar

1
Heat the oven to 175°C. Grease a 23 x 33 cm baking pan and line the base with parchment, leaving the sides lightly greased.
2
Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. In a separate large bowl, beat the egg yolks with 150 g of the sugar and the vanilla for 2 to 3 minutes, until pale and thick.
3
Beat the egg whites on medium speed until foamy, then gradually add the remaining 50 g sugar and continue beating until glossy medium-stiff peaks form. Fold the whites into the yolk mixture in three additions, alternating with the flour mixture, until no dry streaks remain.
4
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the top is golden and springs back when pressed lightly in the center. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then prick the surface all over with a skewer.

5
Whisk the whole milk, evaporated milk, and condensed milk in a jug until smooth. Pour the mixture slowly over the cake, pausing so it can absorb; cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
6
Beat the chilled heavy cream in a cold bowl until it holds soft peaks. Spread it over the fully chilled cake and dust evenly with ground cinnamon.

Cut the cake into 12 portions with a sharp knife, wiping the blade between cuts, and serve cold.

Por qué funciona esta receta

A lightly aerated sponge has enough structure to absorb the sweet milk mixture while staying tender. Chilling gives the three milks time to distribute throughout the cake, while unsweetened whipped cream balances its richness.
