Tres Leches Milk Cake

🍰 Desserts

Sponge soaked in three milks until pudding-soft, the Latin classic that redefines moist. A tender, bakery-style crumb that stays moist for days. Serve thick slices with tea or a spoonful of whipped cream.

Prep 24 min Cook 34 min Serves 11 Medium

Ingredients

  • Butter1/2 cup, softened
  • Heavy Cream1/4 cup
  • Salta pinch
  • Eggs4
  • Milk1 litre
  • Sugar1 cup
  • Baking Powder2 tsp
  • Vanilla Extract1 tsp
  • Condensed Milk1/2 cup

Instructions

  1. 1

    Set the oven to 180 C / 350 F and line the base of your tin with parchment.

  2. 2

    Whisk the milk, eggs and sugar until pale, thick and doubled — this takes three or four good minutes.

  3. 3

    Alternate the dry ingredients with the milk, folding with a spatula so the batter stays airy.

  4. 4

    Bake in the middle of the oven for 30-35 minutes; cool in the tin for ten before turning out.

  5. 5

    Once cool, slice and serve, or ice it generously and let the frosting set.

Chef's tip

Weigh your flour if you can; cup measures can be off by twenty percent either way.
