Steps

1 hour

1

Beat the eggs, gradually adding the sugar while mixing constantly until the sugar dissolves and the eggs double in volume.
2

Slowly drizzle in the melted butter or oil while mixing.
3

Gently fold in the flour using a spatula to avoid overmixing and developing gluten.
4

Add the vanilla extract and orange zest.
5

Pour the batter into a baking pan and bake at 320°F (160°C) for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. (Avoid opening the oven for at least the first 15 minutes.)
6

In a saucepan, combine the whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, and heavy cream. Mix well and heat over medium until it just begins to boil, then remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract (and vodka, if using).
7

While the cake is still warm, poke small holes all over the surface and pour the tres leches mixture evenly over the cake. Let it soak and refrigerate for at least two hours.
8

Decorate with whipped cream and your choice of fruit.
