How to Make Tres Leches Cake With Seasonal Fruit

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan by greasing and flouring it.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup unsalted butter (softened), 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup milk.
  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 completely in the pan before proceeding.
  7. While the cake cools, prepare the three milks mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk, 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, and 1 cup heavy cream.
  8. Once the cake is completely cool, carefully poke holes all over the top using a fork or toothpick.
  9. Slowly pour the three milks mixture evenly over the cake, allowing it to soak in completely. This may take some time.
  10. Cover the cake and refrigerate overnight (at least 8 hours) to allow it to fully absorb the milk mixture.
  11. Before serving, garnish with your favorite seasonal fruits (e.g., berries, sliced peaches, kiwi) and a dollop of whipped cream.
