Zubereitung von Mexican Tres Leche Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake is cooling, whisk together the condensed milk, evaporated milk, whole milk, and rum (if using) in a medium bowl until smooth.
- Once the cake is completely cool, carefully poke holes all over the top using a fork or toothpick.
- Slowly pour the milk mixture over the cake, allowing it to soak in completely. You may need to gently tilt the cake to ensure even saturation.
- Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cake to fully absorb the milk mixture.
- In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
- Spread the whipped cream evenly over the top and sides of the cake.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Cut into squares and enjoy!
