Thank you for watching! Hope you'll like this tres leches cake🍰 * Soak in more milk syrup if you like more wet, sweeter texture!

Hi this is a wonderful Mexican dessert I’m from Guadalajara Jalisco Mexico and in love with this cake 🍰

[@filifiso6186]

Presentation is everything! People eat with their eyes first! Loving the details in preparing this cake just beautiful!

[@福永順子-z8b]

This Tres Leches Cake is like a melting French toast.😍💖 This is my first cake like this. It looks so delicious and easy to make. I will challenge and eat it. 😋

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

It is a very unique cake for sure!

[@berniecelee5062]

Honestly , I am not really a baker. I much prefer home made desserts but many have stopped making home made as that generation are older. So I think I am going to learn to make my favourite deserts. Someone said her fav is Tres leche and I said , no I never had it. You’re a magician with cake batter , frosting and an oven! Sooooo , I am saving your recipe to give it a try at Easter. Let’s see if I can WOW my friend ….😊. I don’t like too sweet so I will do exactly what you did. This looks like I could invite the King of England over for tea. So perfect ! Thanks for the tutorial 🙏🏻🙏🏻.

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

Homemade cakes are so special just by the fact that you took the time to create something for somebody😊 Thank you so much! It's a little different from a traditional style but I hope she'll like this version as well!

[@rimanouri6435]

As soon as I clock out I will buy all the ingredients to make it tonight. It looks amazing.

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

Thank you, I hope you enjoyed it!!

[@miskyloo887]

I'm making this tomorrow.. I'm nervous cos I'm taking it to a dinner party! I like that your version doesn't look super soggy... I ll double the recipe and hope it will be enough for 14 people..

[@malkanthikiriwendala8155]

Thank you so much for sharing the recipe. Specially the “milk syrup”. Wanted to try “tres lechers” for a long time. Couldn’t find the “evaporated milk here. You solved the problem. Thank you once again ❤❤

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

My pleasure 😊 I'm glad you found what you were looking for!

[@annchovy6]

Aya, even though I’m Latina I’ve never cared for tres leches cake as I find it too sweet even without the meringue some use to top it (team whipped cream all the way for me). I am very curious to try to your milk syrup instead. I always feel like I can trust your recipes won’t be too sweet (but I like that you also use enough sugar, because some channels I like go too far in the other direction 😅). I like tres leches with tea in the soaking liquid for a variation that introduces some nice bitterness, too.

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

Thank you for noticing the things I've tried to make my recipes😊 I try not to cut off sugar too much since it does such an important role to make a fine texture. I hope you'll like it!🙏💫

[@sfr2107]

After having the whipped cream version, I haven't been able to enjoy meringue versions at all 😅 The tea sounds intriguing, what type if tea have you tried? Are you going for a light steep or does it need to be on the stronger side to cut through the dairy?

[@obsidyenneg4333]

I made tres leches cake once and I had some when in Mexico. I found them to be very wet and too sweet. I’ll try your version. Thanks

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

Hope you’ll like it!!

[@shayshaymann113]

This cake is one of my favorite cakes! I prefer cakes with a whipped cream topping instead of icing. Icing is way too sugary for me. Plus icing is too dense for a rich cake such as this. Thank you, it looks beautiful and I’ll have to try making it with your version of the milk!

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

Thank you! I love it too, it is so light and cloudy💕

Hi Aya! I just had my first Tres Leches in Istanbul last Sept. It looks so simple but so delicious. Thank you so much for sharing how to make this especially from scratch, now I can make it at home. Have you ever heard of a sponge cake soaked in 7-up and mixed with fruit cocktail? I had it many decades ago in Hawaii and cannot trace back that cake anymore. It is a freezer cake. Thank you!

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

Hi Katalina!!🤗 Thank you. I haven't heard of it actually. Very curious though!

Ahhhhh I finished watching it and it looks so good QAQ minute I get groceries I’ll try this out I’m kinda sad that I don’t rly have any berries as topping cuz they’re not rly good where I live but ig it doesn’t rly need it or maybe I could add some fruit jam?

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

Thank you〜😊💓 Yes, it doesn't has to be berries, you can use other fruits, jam, etc.

[@heerakhambatta2910]

Super Vedio Aya. Thanks dear for sharing and explaining so well.

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

Thank you!

[@terryj1953]

A this be made with stevia instead of sugar? Can cartoned egg white and egg yokes work. Can low fat or low calorie condensed milk or cream be used? Thank you it looks delicious. Enjoyed it in Costa Reina last week!

[@julhe8743]

Tip: when you boil the milk add 4-5 marbles to the pot it will help with the movement of the milk.

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

Love that!😊

[@lindahickok5536]

Thank you for sharing!

[@bernadettelee8598]

Thank you for sharing and reaching us your recipe. Lovely cake. May I ask, if I want to make this for a party could I add the whipped cream and fruit whilst the prepared sponge is in the cake tray? That way I can bring the cake whole to the party? Is that ok? Makes sense?

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

Hello! That's fine if it's not going to be at room temperature for too long since the whipped cream starts getting looser when it gets warmed up. I recommend transferring it in a cooler box or somewhere cooler.

[@kaanthiperera6277]

[@nelsonsoto8367]

HI Aya! This is my 3rd attempt making your fluffy cake. I follow every step and have changed temperatures but for some reason the middle part always comes out raw everything else comes out perfect except for the middle. Any tips on why that might be happening?

[@katalinaj3450]

QUESTIONS! - YDO shows you make with fresh milk total 800 gm so you cook down to less than 400 gm (half). If I use the version of 3 milk, the total is only 400 gm. How long do I need to cook it for or just mix and warm only? I am preparing to make this. THANK YOU!

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

Hello! Yes, you just need to mix and warm when you are doing the quick version. No need to cook them. I hope it'll be a success!!!

[@katalinaj3450]

@@PastryLivingwithAya THANK YOU 🙏! Will start after lunch. We r pacific time.

[@anitarangel5483]

Why you whip and mix separately? Is there a science behind or you just like that way? I’m curious about it. I love your recipes i have made a couple now and I love it.

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

why do I whip the egg and fold the flours separately for the sponge cake? Yes, that is because we do not want to kill too many air bubbles in the whipped egg - By folding, you can mix without killing them too much which leads to a softer sponge cake. The air bubbles expands in the oven and push the cake up!

What if You wanted a chocolate version ?

[@IsabelDiaz-uw1oc]

It looks very nice and neat, but to me needs to be soaked more in the 3 milks, also tres leches need rum or some type of liqueur, no need to warm up the milk, I come from the original tras leches country, Nicaragua

[@Theunspoiledprincess]

Tres Leches originated from Mexico and I’ve never heard of adding rum or liquor to it.

You’re certainly skilled beyond the hobby dessert cook. You display great technique in your videos.
