Como fazer Tres Leches

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, beat 6 large egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar, beating until glossy and stiff.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 8 large egg yolks. Reserve 1 egg yolk and 2 egg whites for the custard and frosting, respectively. Use the remaining egg white in another recipe.
  4. Gently fold the egg yolks into the beaten egg whites until just combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup whole milk, ½ cup water, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. While the cake is baking, prepare the custard: In a blender, combine 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk, 1 (12 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, 1 cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and the reserved egg yolk. Blend until smooth.
  9. Once the cake is baked, let it cool slightly in the pan before slowly pouring the custard evenly over the top. Let it soak for at least 30 minutes.
  10. Refrigerate the cake for at least 7-8 hours to allow the cake to fully absorb the custard.
  11. Prepare the frosting: In a clean bowl, beat 2 reserved egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add ½ cup granulated sugar, beating until stiff and glossy.
  12. Slowly drizzle in 2 tablespoons of light corn syrup while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
  13. Spread the frosting evenly over the chilled cake.
  14. Garnish with fresh cherries or other desired toppings. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
