Ingredients
  • Favorite Tres Leches Cake
  • INGREDIENTS:
  • * 1 1/4 cup cake flour
  • * 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • * 1 cup sugar
  • * 1/3 cup oil
  • * 5 eggs, large
  • * 1 teaspoon plus 1 teaspoon real vanilla extract
  • * 1 cup plus 1/2 cup milk (I use 2%)
  • * 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • * 1 cup plus 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • * 1 tablespoon rum (I use extract0
  • * 1 pinch salt
  • * optional garnishes- fresh berries or cinnamon

Directions
  1. Combine flour and baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the oil, sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Add the eggs to the sugar mixture one at a time until well combined. Stir in the 1/2 cup of milk, then gently fold in the flour mixture a little at a time.
  2. Pour batter into a lightly greased cake pan or baking dish and bake at 325 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until it feels firm and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  3. Let the cake cool until it feels room temperature.
  4. Turn it over onto a platter with raised edges. Pierce cake with a fork 20-30 times. Let it cool in the refrigerator for an additional 30 minutes.
  5. Whisk together 1 cup milk, 1 cup sweetened condensed milk, 1 cup heavy cream and rum. Slowly pour over cooled cake. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Occasionally, spoon the milk runoff back onto the cake.
  6. In a mixing bowl, add 3/4 cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1 Tablespoon sugar. Beat until peaks form. Spread a thin layer over the cake.
  7. Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon or garnish with fresh berries.
