Categories     Dessert

Time 10h30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup all-purpose flour or cake flour (sifted)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp vanilla extract
6 large eggs (room temperature)
7 ozs. sweetened condensed milk
7 ozs. light cream or table cream (18-30% milk fat)
2 1/2 cups evaporated milk
1 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp clear vanilla extract
1/2 oz. vanilla pudding mix (for a stable whipped cream)
Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries or other fruit

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 356 degrees F and bring eggs to room temperature for easier beating. Separate egg whites and egg yolks into two small bowls.
  • Sift flour using a fine mesh strainer or flour sifter.
  • Pour egg yolks, vanilla and 1/2 cup sugar into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, or use a hand mixer.
  • Beat egg yolks until uniform, smooth, pale yellow and doubled in volume. Pour mixture into a separate bowl.
  • Wash and dry the stand mixing bowl and whisk, add egg whites to the bowl and beat on high speed. This is the secret to a light and spongy cake.
  • Slowly add half of the remaining sugar and beat until soft peaks form.
  • Add remaining sugar and beat on high until stiff peaks form. Mixture should be light and fluffy and stick to the whisk attachment or beaters when scooped from the bowl.
  • Gather your three bowls: one with flour, one with egg white mixture, and the other with the egg yolk mixture. Using the egg yolk mixture as your main mixing bowl, you'll add flour and then egg white mixture little by little, alternating as you fold into the batter.
  • First, add two tablespoons of flour to the egg yolk mixture.
  • Fold flour into the yolk mixture.
  • Add a scoop of the egg white mixture to your main mixing bowl.
  • Gently fold into the flour mixture.
  • Add more flour.
  • Fold into the cake batter.
  • Add more egg white mixture.
  • Gently fold in the egg white.
  • Continue alternating and folding in flour and egg white until you've added everything to the main bowl. Mixture will become lighter in color as you add ingredients and the final cake batter should be smooth, thick and fluffy.
  • Grease and flour an 8 1/2 or 9 inch pan. Use a pastry brush to spread the butter in the round cake pan.
  • Place a cookie sheet under your cake pan. Then, pour the tres leches cake mix into the prepared pan.
  • Use the spatula to scrape the batter from sides of the bowl into the pan.
  • Smooth the top of your cake evenly with the spatula.
  • Place your cake on the center rack of the oven and bake at 356 degrees F for 40-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven, let sit five minutes, and then turn the cake out onto a wire rack to cool.
  • Line the cooled cake pan with plastic wrap. You're going to place the cake back in the pan and then cover, so be sure you leave enough wrap on the sides to do so.
  • Carefully place your cake bottom up into the lined baking pan.
  • Gather your condensed milk, evaporated milk and light cream (or table cream) in separate bowls, as well as a large bowl, measuring cup and wire whisk.
  • Pour the cream into the measuring cup.
  • Add the sweetened condensed milk.
  • Pour in the evaporated milk.
  • Empty the measuring cup contents into a large bowl.
  • Whisk the three milks until combined, and then pour back into the measuring cup.
  • Using a fork, poke holes into the cooled tres leches cake.
  • Pour the milk mixture into the holes and all over the surface of the cake. Don't forget the edges.
  • Lift and fold over the flaps of the plastic wrap to cover the soaked cake.
  • Once your cake is completely covered, place in the refrigerator and let rest for at least 8 hours. Overnight is best.
  • Once the cake has rested, make the whipped topping. Gather your ingredients: heavy whipping cream, clear vanilla extract, sugar and vanilla pudding mix.
  • Fit your stand mixer with the whisk attachment. Then add the whipping cream to the mixing bowl.
  • Pour in the sugar and vanilla extract. The frosting uses a clear vanilla extract to keep it from changing color.
  • Pour in the vanilla pudding mix.The pudding creates a stabilized whipped cream so you won't have to worry about it melting all over your cake in the refrigerator.
  • Whip the cream on medium speed until soft peaks form. Take care not to over beat. If you do so, the cream could separate. The cream should be light and fluffy.
  • Remove your tres leches cake from the refrigerator and prepare a serving dish or cake pedestal.
  • Turn out your cake into the center of the dish.
  • Carefully separate the pan from the cake.
  • Slowly unwrap the plastic wrap by folding the wrap over itself.
  • Remove the plastic wrap completely from the cake.
  • Frost the sides of the cake with the whipped topping using a frosting spatula.
  • Carefully frost the top of the cake, being careful not to let the spatula touch the cake directly. You don't want the cake crumbs to show up on your beautifully frosted cake.
  • Gather your garnishes. If you're using strawberries, slice them in half and make a ring around the center of the cake, pressing the tops of the berries gently into the cake, cut side up. Fill in the ring with more strawberries, then sprinkle with raspberries and blueberries. Serve cold.

Provided by Mely Martínez

Categories     Desserts

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 17

Butter to grease the pan
1 ¼ cup All Purpose Flour (sifted (plus extra for dusting pan))
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt*
1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled (1 stick))
1 cup sugar
5 whole eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 can condensed milk NESTLE LA LECHERA (14oz)
1 can Evaporated milk CARNATION (12oz)
1 cup of Heavy Heavy whipping or 1 can of "Media Crema Nestle"
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
4 Tablespoons rum or brandy (optional)
1 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream (the one you buy at the dairy fridge section)
4 Tablespoons of sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Canned fruit like peaches (mangos or fresh fruit like strawberries and kiwis. If using fruit to decorate, add just before serving.)

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.

TRES LECHES CAKE



Tres leches cake image

Bake a classic Mexican tres leches cake, sometimes called milk cake, for an afternoon treat or coffee morning - it gets its name from the three types of milk used

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

flavourless oil , for the tin
4 eggs , separated
200g caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
200g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
100ml milk
410g can evaporated milk
200ml sweetened condensed milk
300ml double cream
2 tbsp icing sugar
pinch cinnamon

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Lightly oil and line the base and sides of a 20cm square cake tin.
  • Put the egg whites in a large bowl with a pinch of salt. Beat with an electric hand whisk until foamy, about 3 mins. Keep mixing while you add 150g of the sugar, a spoonful at a time, until thick and glossy.
  • In another bowl, mix the egg yolks, remaining sugar and vanilla (no need to clean the beaters first) for 2 mins, or until pale and foamy. Add the flour, baking powder and milk to the egg yolks, and use a spatula to fold everything together.
  • Add a large spoonful of egg white to the cake mix, beat together to loosen the mixture, then gently fold through the remaining egg whites with a large metal spoon (being careful not to over-stir so you don't knock out too much air), until you have a smooth batter.
  • Pour into the tin, smooth the top and bake for 40-45 mins until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Mix together the evaporated milk, condensed milk and 3 tbsp of the cream.
  • Leave the cake to cool for 10 mins in the tin, then ease a knife around the sides. Poke holes over the surface with a skewer, then pour over half the milk mixture. After 5 mins or so, most of it should have soaked into the cake. Leave for another 5 mins, then transfer to a plate and pour over some of the remaining milk until it starts to leak a little. (Any leftover milk that won't soak into the cake can be served on the side.) Leave to cool.
  • Whip the remaining cream and icing sugar together until holding soft peaks. Spread the cream over the cake and sprinkle with a little cinnamon. Can be made and chilled a day ahead. Serve in squares with any remaining soaking milk.

Steps:

  • Bake cake as directed on box.
  • While cake is cooking, mix together 1 can sweetened condensed milk, 1 can evaporated milk, & 1 cup whole milk with a whisk. Set aside.
  • When cake is finished cooking, use the end of a wooden spoon to poke holes in the cake. Whisk your milk mixture once again, and pour slowly over the entire cake. Put the cake in the fridge for 4 hours to set flavors.
  • After 4 hours, make your whipped topping by mixing together the vanilla, milk & whipped topping mix. Use mixer for 4 minutes. When topping is ready, spread over cake.
  • To top it off, drain & rinse 9-12 cherries. Dry each cherry off, so the juice doesn't run in the topping. Put dry cherries on top of cake in rows of 3 or 4.
  • This makes a beautiful cake. Must be kept refridgerated. You can use various flavors of cake mix. Many people love to put sweetened coconut in the whipped topping. You can also make a lower fat version by choosing low sugar cake mix, fat free sweetened condensed milk, fat free evaporated milk, & skim milk.
  • Enjoy!
