Time 45m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup white sugar
5 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups whole milk
2 (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
1 (10 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour one 9x13 inch baking pan.
  • 2. Sift flour and baking powder together and set aside.
  • 3. Cream butter or margarine and the 1 cup sugar together until fluffy. Add eggs and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract; beat well.
  • 4. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture 2 tablespoons at a time; mix until well blended. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  • 5. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes. Pierce cake all over with a fork.
  • 6. Combine the whole milk, condensed milk, and evaporated milk together. Pour over the top of the cooled cake. Be careful to not over do it since you should have some left over that you will not need. I recommend placing the cake in the fridge for one hour and letting it soak up the milk before adding the whip cream mixture.
  • 7. Whip whipping cream, the remaining 1 cup of the sugar, and the remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla extract together until thick. You are going to need an electric mixer for this. Spread over the top of cake and refrigerate overnight, enjoy!

NICARAGUAN TRES LECHES CAKE



Nicaraguan Tres Leches Cake image

Because the cream in Nicaragua is thicker and slightly more acidic than the ultra-pasteurized heavy cream sold in this country, to make the cake more authentic use 1 cup of sour cream and 1 cup of heavy cream for the pint of cream specified in the recipe. Commercial marshmallow cream can be used instead of the meringue. Also, instead of unmolding the cake you can bake it in a glass pan and leave it in there.Pierce it and pour the filling over it right in the pan and refrigerate. When you're ready to serve it, put on the meringue. You will find it is easier to fill, store and the glass pan keeps the cake and filling ( which still resembles a heavy milk) very cold. Because the cake is very rich, it can serve 20.

Time 4h20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

9 egg whites
2 cups sugar
9 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
3 egg yolks
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 pint heavy cream (or 1/2 cup sour cream and 1/2 cup heavy cream)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon liqueur (I suggest Amaretto) (optional)
1 cup light corn syrup
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 egg whites

Steps:

  • FOR CAKE: Beat egg whites until stiff; set aside. Beat the sugar and egg yolks until light, about 3 minutes. Add vanilla and milk, then beat in flour and finally the baking powder. Fold egg whites into the batter and pour into a generously greased 9-by 13-inch pan. Bake 30 to 40 minutes at 350 degrees, or until cake will spring back in center when touched. Let cool. (It's OK if cake falls somewhat at this point.).
  • FOR FILLING: Beat the three egg yolks for 1 minute at high speed with an electric mixer. Add the three kinds of milk - evaporated, condensed and cream - and the vanilla and liqueur, and beat thoroughly. When the cake has cooled, unmold it onto a dish. Pierce the cake as thoroughly as possible with a fork. Slowly pour the filling mixture onto the cake, allowing it to soak in without running over the sides.
  • FOR THE MERINGUE: Mix 1/2 cup water, corn syrup and sugar in a heavy saucepan and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Cook until mixture reaches 227 degrees on a thermometer, or will spin a thread when drizzled from a spoon ( about 30 minutes). Beat egg whites until very stiff. Slowly beat syrup into egg whites, whisking constantly while pouring syrup in a steady stream. Allow to cool slightly, then spread on top and sides of cake. Refrigerate cake at least two hours; it should be.
  • served very cold.

Categories     Postre

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 taza de mantequilla
1 ½ taza de azúcar
9 huevos
1 cucharadita de extracto de vainilla (se puede sustituir con azúcar de vainilla)
2 tazas de harina de trigo
1 ½ cucharadita de polvo de hornear
1 taza de leche (fresca o evaporada)
1 cucharadita de crema de tártaro (tartrato de hidrógeno con potasio) o 1 cucharadita de vinagre blanco
2 tazas de crema batida pesada
5 onzas de leche evaporada
14 onzas de leche condensada azucarada
2 tazas de crema batida pesada
1 taza de azúcar

Steps:

  • Coloque la mantequilla a temperatura ambiente para ablandarla.
  • Precaliente el horno a 175 grados C o 350 grados F.
  • Engrasar y enharinar un molde para hornear. (Se recomiendan aproximadamente 9 × 13 pulgadas o 20 × 30 cm.)
  • En un tazón grande, mezcle la mantequilla y el azúcar hasta que esté suave y esponjosa.
  • Separar las yemas de huevo de las claras de huevo. Utilizará ambos en esta receta.
  • Agregue las yemas de huevo al tazón de una en una, batiendo bien cada huevo antes de agregar uno nuevo y revuelva en la vainilla.
  • En otro tazón, tamizar la harina y el polvo de hornear.
  • Agregue la mezcla de harina alternativamente con la leche, batiendo bien después de cada adición.
  • Coloque las claras de huevo en un recipiente de vidrio o metálico y bátalos con crema de sarro o vinagre hasta que se formen picos firmes.
  • Use una espátula de goma para doblar suavemente las claras de huevo en la masa de mantequilla.
  • Extienda la mezcla uniformemente en el plato para hornear.
  • Hornee en el horno hasta que un palillo insertado en el centro de la torta salga seco. Esto normalmente tomará 25-30 minutos.
  • Deja que el pastel se enfríe.
  • Mezcle las 2 tazas de crema batida pesada con leche evaporada y leche condensada en un tazón pequeño.
  • Vierta la mezcla de leche sobre el pastel hasta que esté completamente empapado y ya no se pueda absorber más. No vierta toda la leche sobre el pastel sin verificar cuánto se absorbe en realidad, ya que esto puede llevar a un pastel demasiado empapado.
  • Batir las otras 2 tazas de crema batida y mezclar con el azúcar.
  • Extender la crema batida sobre el pastel.
  • Coloque el pastel en el refrigerador.

TRES LECHES CAKE



Tres Leches Cake image

We added whipped cream and fruit to a classic tres leches cake recipe to make it undeniably delicious. You can use any fruit in season, alone or in combination. This luscious dessert is named "tres leches"-"three milks"-because it's soaked in three different types of milk.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted and cooled, plus more for baking dish
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
5 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
1 cup whole milk
2 cups heavy cream
5 cups fresh fruit (optional), such as oranges or berries, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat eggs and 3/4 cup sugar on high until pale and thick, about 4 minutes. Add vanilla and beat to combine. With mixer on low, gradually add flour mixture and beat to combine. With a rubber spatula, fold in melted butter until incorporated. Transfer batter to dish and bake until top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes, rotating dish halfway through.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together milks. Poke warm cake all over with a wooden skewer or toothpick, then pour milk mixture over top and let cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.
  • Whip cream and 1/4 cup sugar to medium peaks. To serve, spread whipped cream evenly over cooled cake. Top with fruit if desired.
