How to Make Tres Leches Cake Easy

  1. Preheat your 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 the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. While the cake is still warm, poke holes all over the surface using a fork.
  8. In a separate bowl, whisk together the evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream.
  9. Slowly pour the milk mixture over the warm cake, ensuring it's evenly soaked.
  10. Cover the cake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  11. Before serving, garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon (optional).
