- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup diced fresh strawberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- In a separate large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of softened butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 3 eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Gradually mix in the flour mixture, alternating with 1/2 cup of whole milk, until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cupcakes are baking, whisk together 1/2 cup of sweetened condensed milk, 1/2 cup of evaporated milk, and 1/2 cup of heavy cream in a small bowl.
- Once the cupcakes are done, poke several holes in the top of each cupcake with a toothpick and pour the milk mixture over the cupcakes, allowing it to soak in.
- Refrigerate the cupcakes for at least 1 hour to allow the milk mixture to soak in completely.
- In a separate bowl, whip 1/2 cup of heavy cream with 1/4 cup of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Pipe or spread the whipped cream on top of the cupcakes and garnish with diced fresh strawberries before serving.
Strawberry Tres Leches Cupcakes have a rich history rooted in the fusion of Latin American and American baking traditions. This delectable dessert combines the classic Tres Leches cake, a beloved Latin American treat soaked in three types of milk, with the sweet and tangy flavor of fresh strawberries. Renowned chefs like Pati Jinich and Marcela Valladolid have popularized this delightful twist on the traditional Tres Leches cake. The best versions of this dish can be found in Latin American bakeries and upscale dessert shops, where the moistness of the cake, the richness of the milk mixture, and the freshness of the strawberries are paramount. For a unique twist, some bakers incorporate strawberry puree into the milk mixture for an extra burst of flavor. Whether enjoyed at a festive celebration or as a sweet indulgence, these cupcakes are a delightful marriage of flavors and cultures.
