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 white sugar, divided
- 1/3 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, sift together 1 cup of flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- In a large bowl, beat 5 egg yolks with 3/4 cup of sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in 1/3 cup of milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Gradually fold in the flour mixture until just combined.
- In a separate clean bowl, beat the 5 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. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Pierce the surface of the cake with a fork and slowly pour the milk mixture over the cake, allowing it to soak in. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, top the cake with sliced fresh strawberries. Enjoy!
Strawberry Tres Leches is a delightful twist on the classic Latin American dessert. Originating in Mexico, Tres Leches cake is a sponge cake soaked in three types of milk - evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream. The addition of fresh strawberries adds a burst of fruity flavor and a pop of vibrant color to this beloved dessert. Renowned chefs like Pati Jinich and Marcela Valladolid have popularized this variation, infusing it with their own unique flair. For the best version of this dish, head to Mexico or any authentic Mexican restaurant where the cake is moist, the milk mixture perfectly sweet, and the strawberries fresh and juicy. Don't forget to let the cake soak up the milk mixture for the ultimate indulgence.
