Is that 1 and 3/4 cup or only 3/4 cup

[@Mawinachu]

I wish when we watched your videos we magically got a plate of whatever you had just made through our computers. I'm dying for a bite of that cake.

[@renee3356]

Agreed. I probably won't make a lot of what I see, but I would definitely like to try everything!

[@tiffanynguyen9759]

couldn't agree more! looks so yummy

[@salmaalhashmi8185]

I made it yesterday, and it was amazing!! Everyone loved it, and said it was better than milk cakes from bake shops. I did not have cake flour so I substituted 2 tbsp of flour with corn flour. I also added a 1/8 tsp of baking soda to the dry mixture. I drenched the cake with the milk mixture and chilled it in the fridge, and just before serving it I drizzled a tiny bit of extra milk and topped it with cream and berries. SO GOOD! There was not a single piece left.

Here's another great recipe for Cinco de Mayo!! Tres Leches Cake: Tres Leches Cake Recipe - Laura Vitale - Laura in the Kitchen Episode 383

[@mentorpozhegu]

Laura the reason why i like your style of cooking is because it's easy to make and you explain very good and you work is clean and it looks very delicious

[@rayramos4893]

Thank you for sharing your recipies , i love tres leches , and i love your recipies gracias

[@machategirls610]

Ilove this video3>

[@lightningdevil9011]

Laura can you please tell us the amounts of the ingredients

[@Metaio83]

+Lightning Devil you can find the ingredients in her linked website, found in the description

[@Yeguaa94]

why does there always have to be haters? if you arent content with what she says then mind your own business. she is Italian, not mexican, & if she gives false info, well its not her fault, she only says what she knows. & who cares where the cake is from, point is, its DELICIOUS!!!!

[@DHU11]

She's not Italian. She's American. Unless you born in Italy, raised in Italy and living in Italy you ain't Italian

[@thecincinnatichick]

D. Hull If you look at her website it actually says that she was born in Italy and lived there until she was 12, so she is Italian, js

[@plauditecives]

Yeguaa94 Exactly! There are endless ways to make any given dish or prepare any given recipe. No one owns a recipe. And we are all free to change them as we wish. Vive la difference! I love Laura's positive attitude.

[@evildjinn9]

D. Hull She is Italian; you don't know anything about her. Ever heard of the internet? That's where you can look up correct information before you go shooting your mouth off with wrong information.......

[@evildjinn9]

Bonnie Burge It's 2015, yet some people still haven't grasped the concept of internet where enless universes of information exist.........

[@allygator1905]

If anyone has the chance to try it, cover the top with whipped cream, and then coat with coconut shavings. It's super delicious!

[@DianaBnte]

WOW! I did this cake yesterday to my family and friends and it was delicious! We all loved it! Thank you so much Laura!

[@harrypotterfreak2009]

I use heavy cream in place of the whole milk and I pour the milk mixture on while the cake is still warm. Mmm. Thanks for sharing!

[@ThePhyco001]

this is traditional in just about every spanish speaking country, I grew up on this cake and it is heavenly! recipe seems just about right, this will not disappoint!

[@viccs4752]

Warm cake absorbs the milk better.

[@sinembaybee]

Vicc Salazar agree

[@elisasmama]

My 13 year old daughter made this for the family earlier tonight and it was incredible! She only made one change...she baked it in a glass 9X13 baking dish (no parchment, just greased with a bit of veggie oil), this way there was no transferring it to another platter and risk breakage, the milk mixture soaks in completely and it can be served and stored in the dish. Amazing flavor! Thanks, Laura!

[@johnz7980]

Laura in the Kitchen here in Albania we are doing the" tres leches" exactly like you, but when we have done with the milk,in the top we are putting always caramel glazze and not whipping cream and is so tasty :) is so popular here this sweet,ohh and i like your videos so much you are awesome

[@lancem22]

Really easy directions. Thank you for that. Just had a bite and it turned out incredible. I think the BIG difference is the cake flour and beating the egg whites and folding them in the batter....

[@aixaperez5186]

u should totally try this cake with strawberries its so delicious

[@NonOvyaBisness]

omg this cake is by far my family's favourite they practically force me to make it. BTW this cake is amazing but a tip: put it in the fridge for a couple of hours and the milky mixture just becomes so familiar with the sponge. i CANT describe to you how much more delicious it gets.

[@klnavas]

I baked it yesterday, it tastes good but I found out that this dessert shouldn't have butter in the batch because it make it get harder when you put it in the fridge. Next time I'll try without the butter.

[@Toxicradish00]

I usually make it without the butter! I think it is also fluffier that way.

[@jhernandez891]

i'm super impressed Laura. I love Tres leches but have never even wondered how one would go about making it. That looks awesome and I cant wait for a great opportunity to show it off to my husband and mother.

[@anniedwyer6830]

This cake is easiest if you put it in a glass dish and leave it over night 👌🏽 even better the next day

[@MrJoseMaria15]

Yeah, But carefully covered with a film paper or something. So we'll avoid this Milky cake bringing different flavors from then fridge. Furthermore, the Glass Dish should be the deepest one!

[@kayekog]

I love that you used the words "drenched" and "cake" together! Winner recipe.

[@jessicaelizabeth6228]

I'm totally gonna make this cake!!!

[@ILovesMusic23]

I just finished making this cake and it's DELICIOUS!!!!!! The cake part was so fluffy and moist, it felt just like a pillow. As soon as I took the first bite, it almost melted in my mouth. Loved it! Thanks for the recipe, Laura :)

[@TheGorgeousdalal]

I made it yesterday and I accidentally replaced sugar with salt :( I made again earlier today and now it's cooling please pray for my cake.

[@natty486]

😂😂😂😂🙏🏼 how was it?

[@jjoliver881]

tok

[@karlaenriquez4086]

lol!!! hope your cake came out well

[@medusamedicates9771]

Dalal H how was it??!?!!!!!!

[@SCRAMBY18]

She never replied, her cake killed her lol

[@LauraintheKitchen]

yes it will and that's the point of this particular cake

[@mhasuncion]

So much negativity in here... Is it really worth it? Laura your great. Keep up the good work.

[@ghostface495]

Hi Laura, I just love all your recipes and you make it so simple and worthwhile. keep up the fantastic work. God bless. Much love from Dubai hun xx

[@GianfranKoo]

use 1 can of coconut milk instead of whole milk, 1 can evap milk and 1 can cond milk, mix. serve with peaches in heavy syrup and no sugar whipped cream.

[@Jackieisabel]

Thank you Laura I just love your cooking channel. You ROCK!

[@dlwertz89]

I like mine with a little bit or caramel sauce and strawberries.

[@lindacook9300]

Mmmm...nice to see it done with a cake from scratch as I always use a box cake mix for this cake. I also replace the whole milk with coconut milk and then add a dash of coconut extract to the milk mixture. Mmmm..now I want some! I love your recipe vlogs! :)

[@weirdzfully]

@ Angel Zapata : It is widely enjoyed in Latin America, especially in Mexico. The Origin is disputed.

[@ValenciaTheMan]

Thank u very much Laura, i made this cake yesterday for my boss birthday. Everyone loved it, I just doubled the portion to make it bigger. Greetings from Germany

[@MaiLe-hh9sy]

i fucked up my cake

[@teacup216]

[@tiffanynguyen9759]

I couldn't agree more! looks so yummy

[@LeManooly]

I just made this cake, it tastes really really good! thank you Laura!!

[@jeffpro8]

One of sweetest and most addicting cake ever that you'll get diabetes while your eating it. :P

[@sauronthedarklordofmordor2990]

jeffpro18 LOL, and get THICC

[@rodneybaptist]

Hey Laura, thanks a ton for the recipe, had the opportunity to cater this to a client, they absolutely loved it thanks!

[@allysongaige4764]

Laura will you please make pan dulce????!! Pleaseeee!!!!!!

[@crisdanyperez1148]

Who cares where the cake is from I bet that all the people that are complaining about where the cake is from have not made the cake or even tried to that my friend is called hating. Laura all of you recipes you never fail me

[@alondramelissa1941]

You don't have to be a milk lover to like this cake

[@vukkulvar9769]

But you need to be lactose tolerant :D

[@danceandcheer4live]

I made this as my birthday cake and it was absolutely delicious😍 thank you!

[@azucenaarenas]

DO NOT USE parchment paper. I made the cake twice thinking maybe I made it wrong because the bottom of my cake kept coming out undercooked and the third time I didn't use parchment paper it came out all cooked and good. But other than that the recipe is good.

[@sc_arriola382]

Girl props to you because if it came out bad the second time I made it I def wouldn't make it a third time 😂

[@arundhatir7799]

just thought about trying tres leches for the first time, couldn't trust anyone else's recipe but yours 😘

[@tomatoshawtyy6774]

mine came out really thin and tastes like egg :/ I'm really disappointed......

[@florentyena]

Mine too! I don’t get why. Hope Laura can explain and help correct.

[@esmeraldamad]

I'm making this tomorrow for my husband's birthday and I hope it comes out.

[@paromitaguha334]

The cake looks yummy! But I am confused from your website about the measurement of cake flour- Is it 1 and 3/4 cups flour? Also its for my 3 year old's birthday- So can I make it the day before the party?

[@hansypeguero500]

Best cake in the world. I don't each cake because I don't like sweets, and this is the only one I can eat and love it.

[@emank8137]

I tried this recipe and followed the instructions exactly - however, my cake turned out really dense and flat - not spongey and able to absorb moisture at all - I had to throw it out :( I wish Laura explained key tips that are critical to making a fluffy, light, absorbent cake such as room temperature eggs and working quickly so things aren't left outside for a long time. I later researched why a cake doesn't become sponge-like, and wish those tips were emphasized in this video

[@florentyena]

I faced same issues today. Could you share the insights you learnt?

[@emank8137]

@@florentyena I'm so sorry I made it 3 years ago and completely forgot what I learned as I haven't made sponge cake again since

[@vukkulvar9769]

The egg whites do the heavy lifting, you can help them with some baking powder mixed with the flour (as Laura does). A few drop of vinegar or lemond juice, or cream of tartar, will help your egg whites. You can cut half of the butter and put some milk to lighten the batter before introducing the whipped egg whites, you'll lost less air. If you do that, reintroduce some fat later by substituting some of the (evaporated) milk with heavy cream.

[@Gizuru]

Hi Laura. First i want to say i do love to try new recipes since I know everyone has a different taste on food. I will give you my honest answer after trying this. I believe the cake was too heavy to a point that the milk won't get absorbed. But, i think it could be the eggs(not sure) i would like to try same recipe with a more spongy cake that won' t fall into my stomach like a rock. Thank you for sharing, i'm sure there are a lot of people that will love your tres leches recipe.

[@MarissaAmbriz]

Hi friends, I made this cake following the exact recipe but my cake came out very dense. Any ideas on why?

[@ashkhri]

Im four years late lmao but there could be many reasons for this the egg whites didnt fluff up well aka either you didnt whisk them long enough OR some egg yolk fell in (even a drop of it can ruin egg whites) OR the bowl you whisked it in was slightly dirty. That, or you didnt fold the egg whites in well Or you left the batter standing for too long Or the oven temperature was off Or you messed up the measurement of flour Or you packed in the flour into the measuring cups (if you used any) or you forgot baking powder/soda There are many more ways to mess up, but these are all i can remember off the top of my head

[@thomasjuana08]

I love all your recipes cue yeah u explain all the details and its solo easy to make! Very simple.love your work.I'm going to try this cake for my sons b-day!!

[@kianavee.6267]

I always eat this dessert because I am Dominican and we love this dessert

[@coolrockkidFromMsp]

This desert is mexican

[@venusrodriguez1677]

Dominicans eat this dessert too. Im Dominican and this is personally my favorite dessert. It may come from mexico but anyone can eat it

[@Eternalbeautyyyy]

+coolrockkidFromMsp so because the cake is a mexican desert anyone who isnt mexican cant eat it? please clarify

[@aidaramos8621]

It looks really good got to try to make it for my family for Thanksgiving hope it comes out good thanks for the recipes

[@xueqir]

Laura, in the video you use 2 sticks of butter (1 cup) but on the website it's 1/2 cup of butter (all the other ingredient radios are the same). What's the correct recipe version?

[@sinembaybee]

Ikr!? 😕😐

[@vanessaklee453]

+xueqir I haven't done this one yet, but if I have to choose between the recipe or the video, I'll stick to the later one.

[@Manderzbaby2012]

She only used 1 stick in the video ... so 1/2 cup !!

[@MsLilgiggles14]

i made this cake yesterday n it was really good.cake flour does make a big difference

[@diegomora2621]

You can add 1/3 cup of rum to the milk mixture and it is great

[@sitizenkanemusic]

+Diego Mora I actually love it when Rompope or Advocaat is added to the milks mixtures.

[@ilhansharif-idiris1096]

Alchaholic

[@jarose29]

I've made tres Leches cake for years and have made my own variations of it and discovered u can put coconut milk also and it taste delicious as well for those coconut lovers and like I said before cream cheese frosting makes a ton of difference. I use cream cheese 1 can if media crema and sugar. The cake batter is the same as the one Laura made. I also use media cremA in the milk mixture and too it with fresh fruit mostly strawberries but it could be what ever u have at hand I've used peaches

[@trix7716]

I did this recipe twice..Just to see if I did anything wrong the first time and it still came out super dense. I don't understand I did exactly what she said. It still tasted good though.

[@luisbravo4008]

Trisha N cakes with butter can come out dense if you cream the butter too long at a speed thats too high. they make like gummy streaks in your cake

[@mamasita2love]

i dont have cake flour but im def going to make this for a get together my mother in law is having tonight. a great idea to get a lighter cake is to add a box of dry instant pudding to your batter if you dont have cake flour. a wonderful lady Ms Unice that i use to work with told me about this. it makes the cake so soft. she use to make the best pistachios cake from a box and it tastes super fresh because she added pistachio pudding lol

[@spacemanballs2o]

I'm Mexican , in Texas and every birthday party that I've been to has tres leeches

[@Salomon_G]

leeches? lol

[@Bultron7]

Nem33 Hahahaha

[@angelgabriellewalker]

it did in fact taste great by itself :) I decided to make it into a jello cake (basically what you're doing, but replacing the milk with jello) and gave it to a friend that's had a bad week.. she loved it and was so thankful. thank you laura!

[@princesskimbie]

I love being mexican we have amazing food :D

[@aurumsb]

yeah! i thought exactly the same! here in latino america this cake is sooo famous and is amazing and suuper delicious! i just make a little change, I mixed that 3 milks, and i add a can of heavy cream and yeah, that's 4 milks but is totally smooth and delicious!

[@jammcavero3943]

Mine came out chewy. What went wrong? 😔

[@markoneill3719]

Probably overmixing the flour or the egg whites

[@OhioStatemom19Betty]

I made mine with Betty crocker cake mix and then did the whipped cream frosting to decorate I let mine soak for 24 hours, my aunt is a baker and told me to do it that way, the cake is Soooo good

[@LauraintheKitchen]

unfortunately i don't measure in grams or mls, there is no way for me to measure that way since i live in the US and we use cups, tbsp etc to measure. Try searching on google for a conversion table.

[@kittykatkllr]

Can I use all purpose flour?

[@TheForgottenPortrait]

Yes.

[@alej8205]

Yes you can

[@BallOut357]

[@loriapril90]

This is a very famous recipe in Albania but instead of the cream on top, we use caramel (liquid) and its oh so good, I love love love it!

[@squirrlycellist]

We always serve ours refrigerated. It is so refreshing. Great recipe.

[@mariabrosell]

NOT ONLY MEXICAN, in VENEZUELA is also traditional

[@MrDanielapariciocruz]

i think taht it is latin

[@xsonyabladex]

The cake is popular in Mexico, Central and South America, North America and many parts of the Caribbean, as well as in Europe. The origins of the tres leches are disputed; however, the idea for creating a cake soaked in a liquid is likely of Medieval European origin, as similar cakes, such as British Trifle and rum cake, and tiramisu from Italy, use this method.

I love this style of cake! I make an Austrian Coffee cake that is simialar only you pour a coffee mixture over the top and refrigerate! Yuuuummmmm!!!!

[@pacificmamabear]

If the origin of the cake is unknown then technically...it's everyone's cake! So she isn't wrong for calling it a Mexican cake. She also wouldn't be wrong for calling it a Domincan cake. I mean, it's a cake people. I understand we all like to feel special by dividing ourselves up into different races that we as people created but at the end of the day, we're HUMANS. Nothing more, nothing less. It's a delicious cake invented by some genius person that definitely doesn't exist anymore. The end

[@almendradesantiago232]

Omfg really all poeple saying it Peru, Nicaragua Mexico blah blah!! Its from Spain that's thats where we all Spanish-speaking countries come from we are a mix of natives and Europeans

[@almendradesantiago232]

Ok so i just a quick research and the origin of the cake recipe isn't sure where it came from it got real popular in the 1930-40 nestle had the recipe in the label thats why its so popular but i really think its from Spain but who cares tres leches cake is the bomb! (I wouldn't add butter or any kind of oil)

[@fayeadrienedeleon1705]

Chill yo tits

[@midnightportal3952]

Almendra De Santiago That's not true at all lol I'm not trying to be rude because I agree that they should Shut up, but that's not where we're not all a mix of natives and Europeans.

[@CarlH08]

It is not from Spain... Tres leches cake became popular in Spain because of latinamerican immigrants specially people from Venezuela, Peru and Colombia..

[@CoffeeQueen90]

I can't wait to make it! That cake is one of my favorite Mexican deserts!

[@EL1ZABETH76]

I hate it that she speaks with her mouth full of food....looks so bad!!!

[@mamasita2love]

oh my goodness...the cake was a SUPER HIT!!!!!!! thank u so much...they loved it... wasn't overly sweet. i had tres leches cake from a restaurant and it was mushy... this was firm and soft lol at the same time hard to explain lol...pure perfection...thanks

[@BenPR100]

When I make this cake I simmer a little bit the tres leches mixture. I pour it all over the cake that is just out of the oven and in the baking dish so there's no need of poking it with a fork and no leaking. Let it in the fridge over night. I also use almond extract for the cake and vanilla for the milk mixture. I use a recipe similar to this one and is beyond delicious.

[@sexy6302]

This is the first recipe I tried from Laura. Loved it! Thanks Laura😊

[@esmeraldakitty]

In Puerto Rico we do it a lot. If you don't have much time, just buy a box of cake mix and after baking it, pour the milk mix on the cake or buy a vanilla cake and pour the milk mix. Depending on the time you have-you got a few choices.

[@ileanaaaaa]

Hi Laura, my mom used to make the tres leches cake with a little bit of brandy on the mix of milk and it is delicious!!

[@scottyhoganful]

Laura I made this for Spanish class! I'm a huge fan!
