How to make tres leches cake?
Pastel de tres leches, or ‘three kinds of milk cake’ is a delectable Mexican favorite. A butter cake is soaked in milk, sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk, making for the ultimate in moistness.
My thoughts:
For extra goodness, make your topping out of heavy whipping cream. Simply whip cream until it thickens (about 3-4 minutes.) Add sugar and vanilla to your taste.
Ingredients

- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 stick unsalted butter

- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk
- 7 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 6 ounces evaporated milk
- Whipped cream, for topping
Instructions
