Tres Leches Cake Recipe

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.

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
