Tres Leches Cake

Ingredients

Cake

6 large eggs, separated

2 cups granulated sugar

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 cup whole milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Sauce

1 (14-oz) can sweetened condensed milk

1 (12-oz) can evaporated milk

1 cup milk

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Directions

Cake
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease and flour a 9 by 13-inch baking
dish and set aside.
In the bowl of a mixer, beat the egg whites on low speed until soft peaks form. Add the sugar
gradually with the mixer running and beat to stiff peaks. Add the egg yolks 1 at a time, beating well
after the addition of each.
Sift together the flour and baking powder and add to the egg mixture, alternating with the milk. (Do
this quickly so the batter does not lose volume.) Add the vanilla. Bake until golden, 25 minutes.
Sauce
In a mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, milk, and vanilla.
Allow the cake to cool slightly. Using a fork or two, poke holes all over the cake so that it will
better absorb the vanilla sauce. Slowly pour the vanilla sauce over the cake. Cover and chill at least
four hours. Serve with whipped cream and strawberries.
