Tres Leches Cake (Three Milk Cake)

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 5 eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
• 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.

2. 2

   In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat the eggs and sugar on high speed until pale, thick, and fluffy (about 5-7 minutes).

3. 3

   Gently fold in the flour and a pinch of salt until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the eggs.

4. 4

   Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

5. 5

   Allow the cake to cool for about 20 minutes. Whisk the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and 1/2 cup of the heavy cream together.

6. 6

   Pierce the surface of the cake all over with a fork. Slowly pour the milk mixture over the cake.

7. 7

   Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours (preferably overnight) to allow the cake to absorb the liquid.

8. 8

   Before serving, whip the remaining heavy cream with a little sugar until stiff peaks form and spread over the cake.
