Strawberry Tres Leches Cake

A moist and delicious sponge cake soaked in three kinds of milk and topped with fresh strawberries.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 5 large eggs, separated
  • 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 1/3 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat egg yolks with 3/4 cup sugar until pale and thick. Stir in milk and vanilla.
  4. Fold the dry ingredients into the yolk mixture until just combined.
  5. In another bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
  6. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter until no streaks remain. Pour into prepared baking dish.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes.
  8. In a bowl, whisk together evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream. Poke holes all over the cake with a fork, then slowly pour the milk mixture over the cake.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Top with sliced strawberries and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
