![]() One dessert I’d never made before last week includes a traditional Tres Leches Cake. A Tres Leches Cake can be translated to “three milk” cake, and is known for its’ heavy moisture and sweet flavor. The cake itself is a tasty combo of a cake batter mixed with a tasty meringue, which after baking is soaked in evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and whole milk mixed together. It is a treat my husband and I had a couple of times a year in Texas, but realized that we had not had it more than maybe once since moving to Oklahoma. Below is a recipe we used from watching Basics with Babish’s video that turned out phenomenally! We are huge fans of both Binging with Babish and Basics with Babish and refer to a lot of his videos when meal planning. An additional thing we tried was crushing Buc-ee's Beaver Nuggets and using them as a topping for the Tres Leches to add as sweet flavor and satisfying crunch to the dish and WOW! It was amazing! ![]() Once we finished and iced the Tres Leches our cat Leo came to check it out. We noticed a trail of whipped cream on the counter and the culprit (in the top left of the photo) licking the left overs off of his tail. While we had a good laugh, we decided that it would be best not to take that cake to work and to just bring the other one. ![]() Ingredients: Cake: 10 eggs, separated by whites and yolks 2 cup white sugar 1&1/4 cup all purpose flour 3 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 2/3 cup milk 1.5 tsp vanilla extract Pam/cooking spray 1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk 1 12 ounce can evaporated milk 4 ounces whole milk Strawberries, thinly sliced for garnish Whipped Cream: 16 ounces heavy whipping cream 4 Tbsp sugar 2 tsp vanilla extract Equipment: Stand mixer Parchment paper 2 round cake pans (10 inches) Directions:
