"Discovering tres leches in 2020 was the highlight of the year" I feel ya girl

In 2021

[@nezbut7]

Wrote out the recipe!! Cake: 3 egg yolks 3 egg whites + 30g sugar 90g sugar 70g flour 15g cocoa powder 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 2 tbsp whole milk 1/2 vanilla 2 tbsp whole milk 2 tbsp cocoa powder 400g condensed milk 170g evaporated milk Topping: 1 tbsp cocoa powder 2 tbsp icing sugar 200ml double cream Preheat the oven to 160C. (The whole oven should be warm, use a thermometer.) Separate 3 eggs. Using a hand mixer, beat the egg yolks and 90g of the sugar in a bowl until pale and thickened. Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder salt to the egg yolk mixture and stir. It will be very stiff. Add in 2 tbsp whole milk and stir until combined. Set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the egg whites and whip on a low speed until large bubbles form. Turn the speed up to medium high and whip until soft peaks. Gradually add in 30g of sugar with the mixer still on. Keep whisking until stiff peaks are achieved. Stir a small amount of the whipped egg whites into the egg yolk mixture to loosen. Add half of the egg whites in next, carefully folding to incorporate. Add the rest of the egg whites in and gently fold until fully combined. Prepare a tin by wiping butter only on the base of the tin (to prevent the cake from pulling away from the sides). Transfer the batter to the tin carefully and spread evenly with a palette knife if necessary. Transfer to the oven for 20 minutes. Turn the oven off but leave the cake inside for another 10 minutes. Open the oven door and let the cake rest inside for a final 10 minutes. Combine 2 tbsp of milk and 2 tbsp of cocoa powder. Add in the evaporated milk and condensed milk and mix. Using a fork, poke holes into the cake. Pour as much of the milk mixture as possible onto the cake. Chill overnight (or at least a few hours). Pour more of the mixture onto the cake as it soaks in while it chills, until all of it is used. For the topping, combine cocoa powder, icing sugar and a small amount of the double cream in a stand mixer. Slowly add the rest of the double cream and whip until soft peaks.

[@Suzy-yd2ko]

I actually made this and I’m no cook. It was easy and taste absolutely divine. Give it a go folks you wont regret it 😍

[@Passionforfoodrecipes]

I love Tres leche cake puns.. But sometimes they kind of *milk it.*

[@shamilaanas4385]

I'm 12 years old and I made this for my brother's birthday and it was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! It was so delicious and moist and the cream makes it even more tastier, HIGHLY RECOMMEND MAKING THIS, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Btw I used whipping cream instead of double cream and it was still so fluffy and beautiful

[@dianashanks1309]

I made this on Sunday, and we had it for dessert on Monday and Tuesday (tonight). OMG - It's so good. I think it was actually better today - maybe the flavours developed more... Definitely going to make it again.

[@BonniBakery]

Oven thermometer is definiteley the way to go! Our new oven has a mind of its own, so this is an essential!

[@JavariasTestKitchen]

*Written instructions:* 1)Separate three eggs. Yolks go into a separate bowl and whites go in the bowl of stand mixer. 2)Add 90 grams of caster/granulated sugar to the egg yolks and whip for 2-3 minutes until pale and thick. 3)Add dry ingredients(70 grams: plain flour, 15 gram: cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt) to the bowl with whipped egg yolks and sugar. 4)Use spatula to incorporate dry ingredients. 5) Add 2 tablespoons of milk and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract to ease the mixing. Fold until fully combined and set aside. 6) Next, whisk the egg white on slow speed until large bubbles form. 7)Then, increase speed to medium-high and whisk until peaks hold shape. 8)With mixer going on the same speed, gradually add 30 grams of caster sugar and keep whisking until stiff peaks form. 9) Take a dollop of whisked egg white and combine with chocolate batter. 10) Fold egg whites into the batter very gently(cutting through middle and scooping inside) using only half the egg whites at once. 11)Butter the bottom of the tin and put batter into it. 12)Use a palette knife to even out cake batter. 13)Bake at 160C for 20 minutes. 14)Turn the oven off and let cake cool in the oven for 10 minutes with oven door closed and for additional 10 minutes with the oven door open. 15)Combine 2 tablespoons of whole milk and 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder. 16)Combine 400g of Condensed Milk and 170g of Evaporated Milk with milk and cocoa powder paste. 17) Use a fork to poke holes in the cake. 18)Pour the milk mixture on the cake and chill it overnight or atleast few hours. 19) Take 1 Tbsp or cocoa powder, 2 Tbsp of icing/powdered sugar and little bit of double cream and mix until combined. 20)Then, slowly add rest of the cream(total 200 grams) whipping until soft peaks form. 21)Spread whipped creams on top of the cake and top with sprinkles. DIG IN!! Hope these helped😊

Thank you so much for writing this all out I was just about to watch the video again to do the same. Minor correction however step 2 should say egg yolks.

I used your vanilla tres leches recipe to make a biscoff one..... husbands new favourite bake of mine!

I learned about Tres Leches when I was 12 and when I was 17 I baked my first one and Its now a special treat cuz if I dont do that I'd be 1000kgs

Ooh, I won a baking comp with a tres leches cake a few years ago. Chocolate tres leches sounds so nice!

[@Tiifany02]

I think this is the first not Latinamerican tres leches that actually got it right! People are afraid of soaking the cake like it's supposed to be soaked. Loved the recipe may try it for my family I dont think they have ever have a chocolate tres leches. Greetings from Panamá ❤️🇵🇦
