Comment préparer Tres Leches Cake Alton Brown

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
Avoid using a very shallow pan; a deeper pan is better for even baking.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ¾ cups cake flour, 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter with a mixer until light and fluffy.
Gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar, creaming until well combined.
Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake is lightly golden brown.
Remove from oven and let cool completely in the pan.
Once cooled, prick the cake all over with a fork or wooden skewers to allow for better milk absorption.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk, 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, and 1 cup heavy cream.
Pour the milk mixture evenly over the cooled cake.
Cover and refrigerate overnight (at least 8 hours) to allow the cake to soak completely.
Before serving, whip 2 cups heavy cream, 1 cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Spread the whipped cream topping over the soaked cake.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the topping to set.
