Cómo preparar Tres Leche Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Add 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 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 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk, 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, and 1 cup whole milk.
- Once the cake is completely cool, poke holes all over the top using a fork or toothpick.
- Slowly pour the three-milk mixture evenly over the cake, allowing it to absorb completely. This may take some time.
- Reserve about 1 cup of the milk mixture for serving.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
- For the whipped cream topping: In a chilled bowl, beat 2 cups heavy cream with 1 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. You can add 1 tablespoon of rum (optional).
- Spread the whipped cream evenly over the chilled cake.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Serve chilled, pouring some of the reserved milk mixture over each slice. Garnish with fresh berries, if desired.
