Strawberry Tres Leches Cake

  • Author: Chef Sally

Description

A moist and creamy cake soaked in three kinds of milk and topped with fresh strawberries.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla.
  4. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together evaporated milk, condensed milk, and whole milk.
  7. Once the cake is baked, poke holes all over the top with a fork. Slowly pour the milk mixture over the cake, allowing it to soak in.
  8. Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  9. Before serving, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread over the cake and top with sliced strawberries.
