Strawberry Tres Leches with Chocolate Drizzle
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 5 large eggs
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/3 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup sliced strawberries
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
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.
- Separate the egg yolks from the whites. In a large mixing 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 stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 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 sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and heavy cream. Pierce the top 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, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the cake. Arrange the sliced strawberries on top of the cake. Serve and enjoy!
