Diets This rich and creamy twist on the classic tres leches cake is all about indulgence. A light, airy sponge soaks up a dreamy blend of evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and cream, turning every bite into a melt-in-your-mouth experience. Finished with a luscious layer of dulce de leche, it’s the kind of dessert that feels special but comes together with simple ingredients you probably already have. The best part? It actually tastes even better after a night in the fridge—so it’s perfect for making ahead.
1 cup all-purpose flour, such as Glicks
1 and 1/2 teaspoons Haddar Baking Powder
pinch of salt
pinch of cinnamon
5 eggs, separated
3/4 + 1/4 cup sugar, divided
1 teaspoon Gefen Vanilla Extract
1/3 cup whole milk
1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
14 ounces Yummy Sweetened Condensed Milk
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
dulce de leche (store-bought or homemade) or whipped cream
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly butter a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
In another bowl, beat the egg yolks with 3/4 cup of sugar for about two minutes, until thick and pale yellow. Stir in the milk and vanilla.
In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites on high speed until soft peaks form. Add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
Gently combine the egg yolk mixture with the flour mixture and fold together using a spatula.
Carefully fold in the egg whites into the egg-flour blend in batches, mixing gently until fully combined without deflating the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
In a bowl, combine the evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream.
Once the cake is completely cool, use a fork to poke holes all over the surface.
Slowly drizzle the milk mixture evenly over the entire cake, allowing it to soak in.
Spread a generous layer of dulce de leche over the top of the soaked cake (see note). Or, for a quick finish, pipe whipped cream on the top.
Add chocolate sprinkles or sliced strawberries for decoration, if desired.
Refrigerate and serve cold. This cake gets better the longer it sits!
