How to Make Pastel Tres Leches
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the flour and baking powder, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan.
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the three milks mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream. Add the vanilla extract.
- Once the cake is completely cool, poke holes all over the top using a fork or skewer.
- Slowly pour the three milks mixture over the cake, allowing it to soak completely. You may need to use more or less depending on your cake.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cake to fully absorb the milk mixture.
- Before serving, top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon (optional).
