Tres Leches Cake

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Separate the egg whites from the yolks and beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- 2
Once the egg whites are whipped, add the sugar and mix.
- 3
Add the yolks, mix again, then add the flour and mix again.
- 4
Add the baking powder, vanilla extract, and milk, and mix.
- 5
Mix all the ingredients well and dust your cake pans with flour.
- 6
Pour the batter into the prepared pans and tap them gently to release any air bubbles.
- 7
Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 25 to 30 minutes.
- 8
The cake is ready when a light golden crust forms or when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- 9
Let the cakes cool before removing them from the pans. You can also use two 8-inch round pans for best results; this recipe makes enough for two pans.
- 10
If you want to add filling, slice the cake in half and poke holes with a fork so the three milks mixture can soak in.
- 11
For the filling, slice the strawberries and cook them in a hot skillet with the sugar.
- 12
Mash the strawberries as they cook, then blend them briefly and set aside.
- 13
Mix the three milks together and pour over the first cake layer.
- 14
After soaking, cover with the strawberry filling.
- 15
Place the second cake layer on top and soak again with the milk mixture.
- 16
Whip the cream until thick and it holds its shape, reserving about half.
- 17
Frost the cake and use a scraper or spatula to smooth the surface.
- 18
Melt the chocolate in the microwave or in a double boiler. Let it cool slightly but keep it liquid for decorating the cake.
- 19
Drizzle some of the melted chocolate over the cake with a spoon.
- 20
Add some of the remaining melted chocolate and the cocoa powder to the reserved whipped cream.
- 21
Use a piping bag and tip to decorate the cake.
- 22
Continue decorating as you like; you can add fruit or sprinkles.

Another cake that has been on my baking bucket list for a while! There are many variations out there, but I preferred to start with a recipe that had a chiffon cake as a base.The Preppy Kitchen website has a great recipe and I used that as a starting point. However, I made some important technical changes, as well as some slight ingredient changes.This recipe will feed a crowd, and I found that it pairs really well with a strong cup of coffee!#Dessert #Birthday #Potluck #Sweets #Celebration #Mexican Chris Gan -
