Pistachio Milk Cake Recipe / Tres Leches from Scratch - Ramadan Recipe

I'm such a milk-cake lover and whilst there are so many flavours to choose from Pistachio is my favourite. I love the taste and I love the green colour so much.
Making a pistachio tres leches from scratch is not hard and hopefully this video helps you master milk cakes!
Pistachio Milk Cake Recipe (serves 12):
I blended 100g of pistachios in total.
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup plain flour
- 4 tbsp pistachios powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp baking powder
Wet Ingredients:
- 8 egg yolks
- 5 tbs white granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- colour mill mint food colouring
Meringue:
- 8 egg whites
- 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
- 1 tsp white distilled vinegar
Milk Bath:
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 1/2 cup condensed milk
- 2 tbs pistachio powder
- colour mill mint food colouring
Decoration:
- 600ml double cream
- 3 tbs granulated sugar
- pistachio powder and chopped pistachios
Method:
1. Add the pistachios in a food processor and blend until a fine powder has formed
2. Mix all of the dry ingredients together using a whisk and set aside
3. Separate 8 egg so you have 8 egg whites and 8 egg yolks. Add the yolks to a measuring jug and whites to a stainless steel bowl
4. To the 8 yolks add in the remaining wet ingredients. Pour the mixture into the dry ingredients and add in the food colouring. Mix until just combined
5. To the egg white add in the white distilled vinegar and gradually add in the sugar to create the meringue. Increase the speed as you add in more sugar
6. Add in a small amount of meringue to the batter and then add in the remaining. Make sure you do not overmix and gently fold using a spatula
7. Bake in the oven at 180 degrees celsius for 25 to 30 minutes
8. In the mean time combine all the ingredients together for the milk bath and refrigerate until it is ready to be used
9. Allow the cake to cool completely before you pour in the milk bath. Poke holes into the cake using a fork and then pour in the milk mixture.
10. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight
11. Add 600ml of double cream to a freezer for 10 minutes and then whip using a hand mixer. You can add in sugar if you wish. Mix until the double cream has whipped up and is silky smooth
12. Spread the cream ontop of the cake and garnish with some pistachio powder and chopped pistachio nuts
13. Cut into 12 pieces and serve with some additional milk mixture and enjoy! Ramadan Mubarak 🫶🌙

What size baking tray is this

[@shirleyparsons4572]

How much flour do u use? U never said. Tks

[@yumzoha]

In the description 1 cup plain flour

[@naeemavaliji9620]

Asslamo alykum Can you freez the cake Thank you

[@yumzoha]

Wsalam, no you cannot freeze this cos it will ruin the taste. It should be consumed on the day / the day after

[@user-fu8bp8qq7d]

This recipe looks amazing and my son and I are going to attempt to make for Eid. But this recipe has no butter or oil in the video or description. Is that correct?

[@yumzoha]

Exactly correct :) no butter or oil; its a different way of making a sponge cake

[@ashhal13]

If you look at non UK tres leches recipes, you will see the cake does not contain fat / butter/ oil. The airiness of the sponge comes from the volume of the egg whites. It yields a light cake, not a stodgy dense cake.

[@sahidaena5399]

Hi, do you pour the milk when the cake is hot or cold?

[@yumzoha]

cold milk :)

[@arcie3716]

I like this channel

[@maryamjooma748]

Why did mines rise high to the sides 🥹

[@yumzoha]

I would recommend baking in the middle shelf of your oven otherwise it won’t bake evenly

[@TaraSpendolini]

That looks great ❤❤❤❤

[@tomyboyy77]

I wish you wrote the ingredients you added on the screen

[@loulunaloopy6698]

I think she wrote them in the description with additional written instructions :)

[@yumzoha]

They are in the description :) please check

[@love2vintage]

Food colouring is really bad health wise but I know it looks beautiful.

[@yumzoha]

I’m not sure about that; you can choose not to use it and a little bit goes a long way :)

[@3ilaty_Shalabi]

There is synthetic here in the US- it’s very bad. Other countries use vegetable or fruit based coloring, which you can also sometimes find here. Just use that one.

[@ashhal13]

Amazing recipe ! Now this is how you make ‘tres leches.’ Tres leches does not contain fat in the cake , the volume comes from the egg whites.

[@yumzoha]

Thank you so much! 🥰❤️

[@Nurturingmeals]

Yum. Can you make it with healthy ingredients like almond or coconut flour and honey dates or maple syrup for sweetness

[@yumzoha]

I think so 😭😭 I need to start experimenting with more healthier options too
