Tres Leches Recipie

Just wanted to share a recipe for the best tres leches I've ever had in my life! Very simple and easy to make and ooohhh soo yummy. ;-) I'm not one to bake/cook, but my ex-roomate prepared this one day and I've made it a few time to rave reviews!

Cake:

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup flour
  • 4 tsps. of ice cold water
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Milks:

  • 1 can evaporated milk
  • 1 can condensed milk
  • 1 pint heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tsp. vanilla

Topping:

  • 1 tub of Cool Whip Extra Creamy
  • maraschino cherries

Seperate egg whites and yolks. Beat egg whites with a mixer until stiff. Add egg yolks in one at a time, then little by little add in the sugar and the tsps. of water, one at a time. Add flour and tsp. of baking soda and mix well. Spray baking pan with pam, pour in mixture and bake for 25 minutes @ 350.

Let cake cool. Once it's cool, make slits in the cake with a shapr knife, far enough apart so you don't break it into pieces. Mix milks with vanilla together, then pour into cake pan. Top with cool whip and cherries.
