Tres Leches (Spanish for 3 Milks) is a dense, incredibly moist Sponge Cake that is soaked in a mixture of 3 different kinds of Milks. The Cake is then typically topped with Whipped Cream and sometimes garnished with fresh Berries or a Dulce de Leche drizzle.
This one here is a Chai Tres Leches that is made with Milk Tea using Milk powder and Cardamom or Elaichi powder for that perfect Chai feel.
While Tres Leches is the widely recognised Latin American name for a light, airy Sponge Cake soaked in a mixture of evaporated, condensed milks and heavy cream, this Tres Leches has a soak of Milk Tea using Milk, Cardamom powder and Milk powder. The term 'Milk Cake' is simply the literal English translation often used to describe the exact same delicious Dessert.

Unlike traditional Cakes, a Tres Leches sponge is typically made without heavy Butter or Oil. And instead relying more on whisked Eggs for it's rise and light texture. The 3 different milk mix gives the Cake it's soft special texture that just melts in your mouth. In this it gives the bestest taste and flavour of Milk Tea that is just perfect. It's the most simplest and the easiest Dessert that can be whipped up on special occasions and festivals. Do check this one out guys.

Enjoy Cooking with Zeen!

  4. 4

    Cover and refrigerate for at least 4-5 hours or better still overnight to let the liquid fully distribute through the crumb. Otherwise 3 to 4 hours also would be enough if the weather is not hot and humid.

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
