Steps:
- Turn the oven to 325 degrees F. Make sure to adjust the oven rack to the middle position. grease and flour a 13-by-9 inch pan and set aside. For a taller cake, use an 8 x 8-inch pan. Set it aside. If you check the pictures, this cake is not tall.
- Place flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium-size bowl and whisk together to mix.
- With an electric mixer, beat the eggs one by one on a medium speed, for about 45-60 seconds, and slowly add the sugar as in a light dusting, until all sugar is incorporated. The egg mix will be very fluffy and be turning a light yellow.
- Reduce speed of mixer, and slowly add the melted butter, little bit little, and then the vanilla. Keep the mixer running in low. (The butter HAS to be melted and cool if not, it will flatten your bubbles, meaning flat cake)
- Add the flour in batches (spoon by spoon) and gently fold with a spatula until well combined. DO NOT OVER MIX.
- Transfer batter to your prepared pan using a rubber spatula to help you spread the evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until cake looks light golden or a wooden toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the cake.
- Remove the cake and transfer to a wired rack to cool completely. Poke the top of the cake using a toothpick, skewer or fork all over.

MELY MARTíNEZ'S TRES LECHES CAKE
Mely Martínez's Tres Leches Cake is adapted from her 2020 cookbook, The Mexican Home Kitchen: Traditional Home-Style Recipes that Capture the Flavors and Memories of Mexico. We reviewed the book in September 2020. When we interviewed Martínez in September 2020 on the occasion of the book's publication, she told us that this cake is one of her favorite recipes in the book. It's a denser version than most tres leches cakes (it's not a sponge cake), and requires an overnight rest for the tres leches - condensed milk, evaporated milk and heavy cream or media crema - to soak in properly. The result, topped with vanilla whipped cream, is super luscious. "It's worth the wait," she said. "My son and I ate it in two days."

Steps:
- With the rack in the middle position, heat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter and flour a 13-inch X 9-inch baking pan and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer on medium speed to beat the eggs, one by one, beating for 45 to 60 seconds before adding the next egg. Once you've beaten the last egg 45 to 60 seconds, gradually add the sugar, beating until it is fully incorporated. The mixture will be fluffy and pale yellow.
- Reducing the speed of the mixer to low, slowly add the melted butter, little by little, followed by the vanilla extract. Remove the mixer.
- Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture a spoonful at a time, folding each addition in gently with a rubber spatula. Mix until well combined, but don't over-mix the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and use the spatula to spread it evenly.
- Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the cake looks light golden and a toothpick inserted into its center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Poke holes all over the top of the cake using a toothpick, skewer or fork; these will help the cake absorb the moisture better.
- To make the milk mixture, in a medium saucepan, whisk together the condensed and evaporated milks and the heavy cream. Stir in the vanilla extract, then warm the ingredients over low heat till the mixture is warm. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Once the cake has cooled, slowly pour the milk mixture evenly over the cake. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, so the cake has time to thoroughly absorb the mixture.
- To make the whipped cream topping, place the heavy cream, superfine sugar and vanilla in a cold large bowl. Using a hand mixer on medium speed, mix the ingredients until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes.
- Spread the whipped-cream topping evening over the cake with a spatula. Keep refrigerated until ready to eat. Decorate with the sliced fruit just before slicing and serving.

Steps:
- To make the 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 peak 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.
- To make the cream topping: In a blender, combine the evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream and blend on high speed.
- Remove the cake from the oven and while still warm, pour the cream mixture over it. Let sit and cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled, at least 4 hours or overnight.
- To make the icing: Once the cake is completely chilled, in a saucepan combine the water and sugar. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and stir to dissolve the sugar. Cook until the mixture reaches the soft ball stage, 235 to 240 degrees F. Remove from the heat. In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites to soft peaks. While beating, add the hot syrup in a stream. Beat until all the syrup has been added, the mixture cools, and a glossy icing forms.
- To assemble: Remove the cake from the refrigerator and spread the icing evenly across the top. Arrange the mango and papaya slices over the top and serve.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Generously butter a 9-by-13-inch glass baking pan. In an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine egg whites, baking soda, and salt, and beat on medium speed until soft peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add yolks to the whites, and beat until completely combined. With the mixer running slowly, add sugar until combined. Remove the bowl from the mixer. Using a rubber spatula, fold in butter.
- Sift 1/4 cup flour on top of the mixture, and fold in to combine. Repeat with the remaining flour, folding in 1/4 cup at a time. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and bake until golden and a cake tester inserted into the middle comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven, and transfer to a wire rack.
- About 5 minutes before the cake is done, whisk together the three milks, and set aside. As soon as the cake is removed from the oven, pour the milk mixture over the entire cake. The cake should absorb all the liquid within 3 to 5 minutes. Set cake aside, and let stand until cool. Cover cake well, and transfer to the refrigerator to chill, at least 5 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, heat oven to 450 degrees. Place whole coconut in the oven, and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven, and using an awl or a screwdriver, pierce the three "eyes" of the coconut. Turn over, and drain the liquid. Using a hammer, break open coconut. To remove the meat from the shell, insert a small spatula or a grapefruit knife between the flesh and the shell to pry the meat out in large pieces. Using a vegetable peeler, shave off thin curls of coconut. Transfer curls to a baking sheet, and let stand uncovered for 30 minutes. Place in oven, and bake until edges are golden, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven, and set aside until cool. These curls can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days or frozen for future use.
- When ready to serve the cake, whip cream to soft peaks. Slice cake into twelve servings, top with whipped cream, and serve with the fruits and toasted coconut curls.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour one 9x13 inch baking pan.
- 2. Sift flour and baking powder together and set aside.
- 3. Cream butter or margarine and the 1 cup sugar together until fluffy. Add eggs and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract; beat well.
- 4. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture 2 tablespoons at a time; mix until well blended. Pour batter into prepared pan.
- 5. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes. Pierce cake all over with a fork.
- 6. Combine the whole milk, condensed milk, and evaporated milk together. Pour over the top of the cooled cake. Be careful to not over do it since you should have some left over that you will not need. I recommend placing the cake in the fridge for one hour and letting it soak up the milk before adding the whip cream mixture.
- 7. Whip whipping cream, the remaining 1 cup of the sugar, and the remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla extract together until thick. You are going to need an electric mixer for this. Spread over the top of cake and refrigerate overnight, enjoy!
