Ingredients

For the cake

1 cup all-purpose flour

1½ tsp baking powder

¼ tsp salt

5 large eggs

1 cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

½ cup whole milk


Three-milk mixture

1 can evaporated milk

1 can sweetened condensed milk

½ cup heavy cream


Topping

1½ cups heavy whipping cream

2 tbsp powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla

Cinnamon for sprinkling


Step by Step

Prepare the oven: Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Mix dry ingredients: Whisk flour, baking powder and salt together.

Beat eggs: Beat eggs and sugar until light, fluffy and pale. Mix in vanilla.

Combine: Gently fold in the dry ingredients, alternating with milk. Avoid over mixing.

Bake: Pour into the dish and bake for about 25–30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.

Make the milk mixture: Whisk evaporated milk, condensed milk and heavy cream together.

Soak the cake: Let the cake cool slightly then poke holes all over it with a fork. Slowly pour the milk mixture over the cake.

Chill: Refrigerate for at least 2–4 hours, preferably overnight.

Add topping: Whip heavy cream, powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. Spread over the chilled cake.

Finish: Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon and slice cold.


 Pinterest Tip

For the best texture, make Tres Leches Cake the day before serving. The overnight chilling allows the three-milk mixture to soak deeply into the sponge while keeping the cake wonderfully creamy rather than dry.


 Kitchen Essential

A 9×13-inch baking dish is one of the most useful tools for making Tres Leches Cake because it gives you enough surface area for the milk mixture to soak evenly.

👉 Purchase now on Amazon: Look for a durable glass 9×13-inch baking dish with a lid useful for both baking and storing the cake.
