Tres Leches Cake
Tres leches cake is a fixture of Costa Rican celebrations, its name simply meaning 'three milks' for the trio it's soaked in.
A wonderfully moist sponge cake soaked in three kinds of milk and topped with whipped cream — a beloved Costa Rican celebration dessert found at birthdays and gatherings nationwide.
Ingredients
Method
Beat egg yolks with sugar until pale, then fold in flour.
Whisk egg whites to soft peaks and fold gently into the batter.
Bake at 180C for 25-30 minutes until golden, then cool completely.
Whisk evaporated milk, condensed milk and cream together, and pour slowly over the cooled cake until fully absorbed. Top with whipped cream before serving.
Poke the cooled cake all over with a fork before pouring the milk mixture — this helps it soak in evenly.
