How to Make Tres Leches Cake
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a 13×9 inch baking pan with butter.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl until combined.
- Beat the eggs one at a time on medium speed, gradually adding sugar until fluffy and pale.
- Mix in the melted butter and vanilla on low speed, then fold in the flour mixture until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30–35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool the cake completely, then poke holes all over to allow the milk mixture to soak in.
- Combine the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, heavy whipping cream, and vanilla in a saucepan and warm gently.
- Pour the milk mixture over the cooled cake and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Beat cold heavy cream with sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form in a chilled bowl.
- Spread the whipped cream over the cake and garnish with fresh fruit just before serving.
