Nina's Cooking Corner - Pastel de Tres Leches (Three Milk Cake)

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

Grease a 10 by 15 inch baking dish.

Beat egg whites in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer on high until stiff peaks form.

Gradually beat in sugar until mixture is glossy.

Add egg yolks one at a time, combining each yolk before adding the next.

Reduce mixer speed to medium and add flour about 1 tablespoon at a time to the mixture, beating continuously.

Beat in baking powder, milk, and vanilla extract.

Pour batter into prepared baking dish.

Bake in the preheated oven until cake is lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 25 minutes.

Let cake cool for 15 minutes.

Pour 1 cup cream, sweetened condensed milk, and evaporated milk in a blender and pulse several times until well blended.

Pour 3 milk mixture evenly over the cake.

Refrigerate cake until cold and the milk mixture has soaked in, at least one hour.

Cut in squares and top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream and a few sliced strawberries.

Refrigerate leftovers.
