Zubereitung von Pastel De Tres Leches
- Grease and flour a 9-inch diameter cake pan with 3-inch-high sides.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, sift together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat 6 large eggs and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar with an electric mixer on high speed until pale yellow and thick (about 5 minutes).
- Reduce mixer speed to low. Add 1 cup water and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
- Gently fold in the dry ingredients (from step 3) using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake cools, whisk together 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 1 cup heavy cream in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Once the cake is completely cool, use a serrated knife to carefully trim the top layer of the cake to create an even surface. Discard the trimmings.
- Poke holes all over the cake using a toothpick or fork.
- Gradually pour the milk mixture over the cake, allowing it to absorb fully. You may need to pour in batches to ensure even soaking.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
- Before serving, whip 2 cups heavy cream in a chilled bowl until stiff peaks form.
- Spread or pipe the whipped cream on top of the cake.
- Garnish with fresh strawberries, peaches, or your favorite sliced fruit.
