Instructions
1 Mix wet ingredients
- Preheat the oven to 180°C, and grease an 18x18cm square or round baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, using a handheld beater or whisk, cream the butter and sugar for 3-4 min until light and fluffy, scraping down in between.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time until fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Lastly beat in the vanilla.
Tip! Creaming butter and sugar incorporates air into the batter, allowing the cake to rise and expand well in the oven when baked.
2 Add dry ingredients
- Sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt on top of the wet ingredients, and mix until just combined.
- Add a splash of 50ml of whole milk to loosen the batter (reserving the rest of the milk for later), and stir until just combined.
Tip! The texture and consistency of the batter will be thick. Avoid over-mixing.
3 Bake
- Transfer the batter to a baking dish, and spread evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the center of the oven for 25-30 min until golden, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool the cake in the pan for 10-15 min.
- Using a fork or wooden skewer, gently pierce holes all over the cake and towards the sides.
4 Mix 3 milks
- Meanwhile, in a large measuring cup (or a bowl with a pouring spout), mix the remaining whole milk, evaporated milk, and condensed milk well.
- Slowly drizzle the milk mixture over the cooled cake, getting all the sides.
- Transfer the cake to the fridge and chill for 1-2 hours.
Tip! If you'd like, reserve 1/4 of the milk mixture to serve with the cake later. You can also chill the cake overnight and enjoy it the next day.
5 Prep cream and strawberries
- In a large mixing bowl, add the cold whipping cream and icing sugar and beat or whisk for 1-2 min until the cream is thick and spreadable.
- Wash, trim and thinly slice the strawberries. Add them to a small bowl and sprinkle the 10g sugar over. Mix and set aside.
Tip! The sugar helps the strawberries release their juices for a tasty syrup, and makes the berries softer, fragrant, and full of flavour.
6 Serve
- When ready to serve, spread the whipping cream over the chilled cake with a spatula.
- Dust cinnamon all over the cake, and top with the strawberries.
- Cut the Tres Leches Milk Cake with Strawberries and Cream into squares, and enjoy!
