▶ Science of Baking Cakes:

Tres Leches Cake:

- 2 Egg Yolks
- 4 Egg Whites
- 100 gr Sugar ( 1/2 cup )
- 130 gr Milk ( 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp)
- 120 gr All Purpose Flour ( 3/4 cup + 1 tbsp)
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp good Quality Vanilla
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Lemon Juice ( or 1/4 tsp cream of tartar)

Milk Bath:

- 80 gr Sweetened Condensed Milk ( 3 ounces)
- 100 gr Heavy Cream ( 3.5 ounces)
- 100 gr Milk (3.5 ounces)
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 tsp Salt

Whipped Cream Topping:

- 250 gr Heavy Cream (9 ounces)
- 1-2 tbsp Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract

▶ NOTE: Leave the cake to soak for at least one hour. Traditional Tres Leches is served directly in its baking tray with the excess milk. You can either serve it that way, or transfer it onto a platter like I did. It's up to you, depending what texture you prefer.
Top/ serve the cake with berries. This recipe makes 6 portions and I used a 7 inch pan :)

Enjoy!

I've finally made this cake after months of procrastinating. It's everything that Emma describes it to be! The cake is airy soft, and the milk bath gives it this lovely creamy texture. I used blueberries and raspberries for decorations to balance the milky flavours with some acidity. The family fell in love with it. Can't wait to try more of Emma's recipes!

Hello, in Mexico at three milks we prepare it with condensed milk, half cream (media crema)and (carnation) evaporated milk, with a touch of vanilla, greetings

I tried making homemade tres leches cake for the first time today using this recipe. I used a mixture of cream, low fat condensed milk and 1% milk since that was what I could get my hands on. I have to say, it was extremely good. I could definitely taste the vanilla and the texture after soaking it for one hour reminded me a bit of bread pudding, but spongier. All in all, I'm definitely saving this one and I can't wait to try the chocolate version.

I have made this today, surprisingly without the milk bath, the cake itself was so fluffy and delicious, probably the best sponge cake i have ever had. Then after i added the milk bath, it's heaven! Thank you emma 😊

Emma the moment I saw your recipe I knew I had to try it.I m happy to report I made this cake and its probably the best cake I ve tasted so far!!! The recipe is different from other tres leches recipes I've seen and yet its one of the best! Unfortunately looks like a lot of people have already copied this recipe and posted videos recently. Nevertheless I share this recipe and your channel to all freinds and family who asked me about the cake after seeing the pictures I posted. Wish you lot more success!

I finally made this cake after lots of procrastination and fear, and even though I am a beginner and I made it in loaf pan on stove, still it was simply amazing!😊 I didn't do the cream topping because I was being lazy 😅 but still it was an absolute treat to tastebuds! Thank you Emma ❤

I’m from Wales, and in Wales there’s honestly no fresh cake bakeries and cake shops apart from Greggs. But nothing compared to America. I’ve always wanted to try this cake. I want this at my wedding 🤤😍
