This is original mexican recipe for Tres Leches cake, however i made another version of it with my simple cake recipe and i feel like it turned out better. Because original recipe turned out kind of dense.
We will need:
1-¾
cup of Cake Flour
½
cup of Unsalted Butter at room temperature
1
tsp of Baking Powder
½
tsp of Salt
¾
cup of Granulated Sugar
5
Eggs, separated
¾
cup of Whole Milk
1
tsp of Vanilla Extract
For
the 3 Milk Mixture:
1/4

1
14 oz can of Sweetened Condensed Milk
1
12 oz can of Evaporated Milk

- Flip cake upsidedown
- Poke holes in the cake with fork
