How to Make Easy 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 eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  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. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before poking holes all over the top with a fork.
  7. In a large bowl, whisk together evaporated milk, condensed milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract.
  8. Slowly pour the milk mixture over the warm cake, allowing it to soak in completely. You may need to gently tilt the pan to ensure even distribution.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cake to fully absorb the milk mixture and chill thoroughly.
  10. Serve chilled and enjoy your incredibly moist and delicious Tres Leches Cake!
