Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 17

Butter to grease the pan
1 ¼ cup All Purpose Flour (sifted (plus extra for dusting pan))
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt*
1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled (1 stick))
1 cup sugar
5 whole eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 can condensed milk NESTLE LA LECHERA (14oz)
1 can Evaporated milk CARNATION (12oz)
1 cup of Heavy Heavy whipping or 1 can of "Media Crema Nestle"
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
4 Tablespoons rum or brandy (optional)
1 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream (the one you buy at the dairy fridge section)
4 Tablespoons of sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Canned fruit like peaches (mangos or fresh fruit like strawberries and kiwis. If using fruit to decorate, add just before serving.)

Steps:

  • Turn the oven to 325 degrees F. Make sure to adjust the oven rack to the middle position. grease and flour a 13-by-9 inch pan and set aside. For a taller cake, use an 8 x 8-inch pan. Set it aside. If you check the pictures, this cake is not tall.
  • Place flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium-size bowl and whisk together to mix.
  • With an electric mixer, beat the eggs one by one on a medium speed, for about 45-60 seconds, and slowly add the sugar as in a light dusting, until all sugar is incorporated. The egg mix will be very fluffy and be turning a light yellow.
  • Reduce speed of mixer, and slowly add the melted butter, little bit little, and then the vanilla. Keep the mixer running in low. (The butter HAS to be melted and cool if not, it will flatten your bubbles, meaning flat cake)
  • Add the flour in batches (spoon by spoon) and gently fold with a spatula until well combined. DO NOT OVER MIX.
  • Transfer batter to your prepared pan using a rubber spatula to help you spread the evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until cake looks light golden or a wooden toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the cake.
  • Remove the cake and transfer to a wired rack to cool completely. Poke the top of the cake using a toothpick, skewer or fork all over.

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon vegetable shortening, or as needed
1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
3 eggs
1 cup cold water
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup half-and-half
1 cup heavy whipping cream

Beat with electric mixer until very smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Scrape batter into the prepared baking pan. Smooth the top of the batter, shake pan, and tap lightly on counter 2 or 3 times to eliminate air bubbles.

  • Combine evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and half-and-half in a large bowl; slowly pour milk syrup all over the cake. Syrup will soak into cake. Wrap cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 3 hours (or preferably overnight).

EASY TRES LECHES CAKE



Easy Tres Leches Cake image

I wanted to make a simple, quick Tres Leches cake for my family. Too many recipes I'd found called for fruit, or meringue, or coconut -- which detracts from the rich milk flavor.

Provided by Debtex

Categories     Dessert

Time 45m

Yield 1 cake, 15-18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (18 1/4 ounce) box white cake mix
4 large eggs
1 1/4 cups water
1 cup heavy cream
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
whipped cream

Steps:

  • Preheat over to 350º.
  • Grease or "pam" 9x12 baking pan.
  • Beat eggs in a large bowl.
  • Add water and cake mix and beat 3 minutes.
  • Pour batter into pan.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, or until cake has lost its jiggly center and springs back when touched.
  • Let cool to room temperature.
  • Mix the 3 milks.
  • Poke cake full of holes. A chopstick works great for this. Don't skimp on the holes; that's what allows the cake to absorb the milks.
  • Pour the milk mixture over the cake slowly, until it's absorbed the liquid.
  • Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Serve as desired. If you're serving company, you might cover the cake with whipped cream and fruit; you might just drizzle heavy cream over each serving; you might puree a carton of frozen strawberries and use that as a base to serve slices on.
