🍰 Creamy Milk Cake (Tres Leches Style)

🍽️ Servings: 9–12

⏱️ Prep: 20 min | Bake: 30 min | Chill: 4+ hrs

⭐ Ingredients:

For the Cake:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
5 large eggs, separated
1 cup sugar (divided: ¾ cup + ¼ cup)
⅓ cup whole milk
1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Milk Soak:

1 (12 oz) can evaporated milk
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
¾ cup heavy cream (or whole milk for a lighter option)
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

For the Whipped Topping:

1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
2–3 tbsp powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

🔪 Instructions:

1. Make the Cake

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking dish (or line with parchment).
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt. Set aside.

2. Whip the Egg Whites

In a clean bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form.
Slowly add ¼ cup sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.

3. Beat Yolks & Sugar

In a separate bowl, beat egg yolks with remaining ¾ cup sugar until pale and thick (about 2–3 mins).
Add milk and vanilla. Mix in dry ingredients.

4. Fold In Egg Whites

Gently fold egg whites into the yolk/flour batter using a spatula. Don’t overmix.

5. Bake

Pour batter into the pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool for 10 minutes.

6. Make the Milk Mixture

Whisk together evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, and vanilla.

7. Soak the Cake

Poke holes all over the slightly cooled cake with a fork or skewer.
Slowly pour the milk mixture over the entire surface.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is best!).

8. Make the Whipped Topping

Beat cold heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.
Spread over the chilled cake.

🍓 Optional Toppings:

Fresh berries
Toasted coconut
Cinnamon sprinkle
Caramel drizzle

📝 Notes:

Want extra creaminess? Swap the ¾ cup heavy cream in the milk soak for 1 cup and use all of it.
This cake gets better the longer it chills — give it time to soak up all that goodness.
