How to Make Anna S Tres Leches Cake

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. While the cake is baking, prepare the tres leches syrup: In a large bowl, whisk together the evaporated milk, condensed milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract.
7. Once the cake is baked, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
8. Poke holes all over the warm cake using a fork or toothpick.
9. Slowly pour the tres leches syrup evenly over the warm cake, allowing it to soak in completely. This may take 30-60 minutes. You may need to tilt the pan to ensure even distribution of the syrup.
10. Once the syrup is absorbed, cover the cake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
11. Before serving, you can garnish with whipped cream and fresh berries (optional).
