Imbolc Candle Cake | Pastel de tres leches recipe

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Combine soft butter, a pinch of salt, vanilla sugar or extract, and sugar in a bowl until smooth and creamy.

Add eggs and beat until foamy to incorporate air.

In a separate container, sift together flour and baking powder, adding it bit by bit to the wet mixture while stirring.

Pour the batter into a baking ring and smooth the top.

Bake in the oven at 180°C (approximately 350°F) for 30 minutes.

Once baked, cool the cake and remove it from the mold by scraping the edges with a knife.

Mix regular milk, sweetened condensed milk, and evaporated milk in a jar, optionally adding rum.

Poke holes in the cooled cake with a fork to allow the milk mixture to soak in.

Wrap the cake in cling film and pour the milk mixture over it, letting it soak for at least 6 hours or overnight in the fridge.

Whip heavy cream with a tiny bit of powdered sugar until soft peaks form for the frosting.

Arrange the soaked cake and apply the whipped cream frosting on top.

Melt white chocolate coverture in a warm water bath and let it cool slightly before applying it over the cake.

Insert birthday candles into the cake.
