Blueberry Tres Leches
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 5 large eggs, separated
- 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 1/3 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- Whipped cream and additional blueberries for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup of flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks with 3/4 cup of sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract. Gradually fold in the flour mixture until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter until just combined. Fold in the fresh blueberries.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, whisk together the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and heavy cream in a bowl. Once the cake is done, poke holes all over the top with a fork. Slowly pour the milk mixture over the cake, allowing it to soak in.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the milk mixture to fully soak into the cake.
- Before serving, top the cake with whipped cream and additional fresh blueberries. Enjoy!
