How to Make Dos Leches Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x11 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, beat 6 large eggs with 1 ½ cups granulated sugar and a pinch of salt using an electric mixer until the mixture is thick, pale yellow, and tripled in volume (about 8-10 minutes).
  3. Gently fold in 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, being careful not to deflate the batter.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before proceeding.
  7. Once cooled, poke holes all over the cake using a fork or toothpick.
  8. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk, 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  9. Slowly pour the milk mixture evenly over the poked cake, allowing it to soak completely.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cake to fully absorb the milk mixture and develop its signature moist texture.
  11. Garnish and serve chilled. Enjoy!
