Ingredients
To create this delicious Strawberry Tres Leches Cake, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
- 1 can (sweetened condensed milk)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- Additional strawberries for garnish
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to prepare your Strawberry Tres Leches Cake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the whole milk. Mix until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk. Once the cake has cooled, poke holes all over the top using a fork.
- Slowly pour the milk mixture over the cake, allowing it to soak in. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Before serving, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Spread it over the top of the cake and decorate with sliced strawberries.
- Slice and serve this heavenly Strawberry Tres Leches Cake chilled. Enjoy every bite of this creamy, dreamy dessert!
