Tres Leches Cake | Basics with Babish

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease and flour a baking pan.

Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.

In a separate bowl, beat eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add vanilla extract to the egg mixture and mix well.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

In a bowl, combine milk, sweetened condensed milk, and evaporated milk.

Poke holes all over the cooled cake with a fork.

Slowly pour the milk mixture over the cake, allowing it to soak in.

Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.

Spread the whipped cream over the top of the cake.

Dust with cinnamon and garnish with fresh fruit before serving.
