So I made a Tres Leches from the other video and my cake had Curves and hips lol. I followed this version and it was flawless. My father in-law's family owns a bakery in Mexico and he tried my Tres Leches. He couldn't believe I made this. So this weekend is my baby shower and I'm making three cakes. I can't wait to blow everyone's mind with this cake. Thank you so much!!!!

[@dorotheajones8685]

Hi

[@adoreke]

Did you try to make it before the event or u went straight for it ? Because I’m debating

[@chocolatequeen965]

Curves & hips 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 that was funny fr fr

[@jesi3445]

@@adoreke I always do it before the event! I leave the cake in the fridge with the milk so it can soak it all up and so it’s kept cold and early in the morning on the day of the event I add the whipped cream so it’s fresh that same day 🙂

[@Beanjuicemom]

@@jesi3445 did you end up using all the syrup? did the cake soak up everything? I like the milk in the cake, but not too wet.

[@carolmcintyre8485]

I don't mean to go all Hallmark on you but, you're a really patient teacher. I feel like you really want your "viewers" to succeed. Your recipes have ingredients and steps in them others leave out (maybe they just don't know) Great recipes! Can you help us make cucumber water? I had it in Mexico and fell in love! So excited to see a recipe for bolios! There was a gentleman that sold them in the street in the mornings there, yum! Thanks so much!

[@Lesliek79]

I am Salvadorean and I made the Tres leche cake from your last recipe for Super Bowl Sunday and everyone enjoyed it. But the best part was when a friend of my brothers that is from Mexico complemented me and said “It felt like home” that made my day! Thank you can’t wait to make this one.

[@Viewsontheroad]

Hola! That's so awesome to hear and happy the cake turned out just like home❤️

[@Lesliek79]

Hi! If I want to make this in a loaf bread pan what size should I get ? Using the same measurements.

[@rosemarypena9853]

I just made this for my husband’s birthday! We are stationed in Virginia and not a lot of Hispanic anything out here so I wanted to make him his favorite cake😭 this came out sooo amazing and I wouldn’t have been able to do this without you!! I literally cried when it all came out! It’s so hard being away from our huge Mexican family and we are missing traditions... and following all your recipes is helping me be you lol the mama that cook everything for every holiday!! Thank you so much 🥺🥺🥺

[@Viewsontheroad]

I'm so proud of you. I know the struggles of recipes that leave you feeling alone LOL I so happy this recipe worked out for you and most of all that you were able to shine amiga> Oh, yeah!!!! You did it! Keep all your traditions going at home even if it's just Sunday dinner and always enjoy every town for what it is. I appreciate your feedback and thank you for sharing and being part of the #viewsclub ❤️

[@qianafranklin733]

I’m a black girl that loves Mexican food. I’ve made several of your recipes and I see why your family loves your cooking. Keep up the good work love.👌🏿

[@yuri-by6qf]

[@WampanoagNative]

Who cares if you black 🙄

[@nic558]

It’s not Mexican btw!! It’s Nicaraguan

[@juanparada1319]

I tried your first recipe of tres leches and I didn’t have a electric egg beater, so I used the manual hand one I had at home. And let me tell you I was more tired than going for a one hour gym session 😂. It took me about 15-20mins of extremely intense beating for the eggs yolks, and about 30-40mins with the egg whites to get them fluffy haha. I never thought I’d break a sweat baking a cake. But it came out good for a first timer. I recently made it again yesterday, now with an electric beater, and this time I added a double portion of the syrup to make it more “moist” and it was bomb! Both times the cake has shrunk on me but yesterday by adding a double portion of syrup the cake expanded and the gaps disappeared. Thanks for the videos!

[@syn7219]

Same for me the first time i made her other recipe 😂 i thought my arm would fall off

[@patriciacruz2479]

Omg same for me I did it yesterday I was watching mujer casos de la vida real while doing by hand 😂😂😂 but turned out good!!!

[@firstenforemost]

You might have gotten egg yolk in your whites (or had some grease or fat in the bowl or on the beaters) if it took that long. Fat will make it difficult to whip egg whites. The whipping motion you use will also make a difference. A fast back-and-forth will work faster than a circle or up and over motion.

[@emilytorres5818]

I just wanted to say thank you for your great recipies. I married into a Hispanic family and trying to learn recipies from his family members who dont measure anything is sometimes tricky to try to make meals they enjoy. I really appreciate that you have all these videos in English and exact meadurements for your dishes.....its really helping me impress my mother in law!! 😁 big hugs from idaho!

[@valeriegomez9342]

I made the Tres Leches for a family party, I didn't even get a piece everyone ate it and said it was the best they ever had. My grandkids eat this cake a lot, so to hear that from them, made me pretty proud! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@Viewsontheroad]

That is awesome! You’ve made us proud ❤️🍓🍰✨

[@bandygreen2456]

I made this last night. And had a slice this morning. It was delicious!! A few tips: 1) don’t be scared to use less sugar. I didn’t use as much sugar as she did and the cake still taste delicious 2) after you put the syrup on the cake, I recommend you cover it with plastic and store it in the fridge overnight

[@chelseth3581]

How much sugar did you use?

[@gravis00]

Milk! Not syrup!

[@firstenforemost]

@@gravis00 The Tres Leches mixture is commonly referred to as the syrup. It's not just "milk."

[@gravis00]

@@firstenforemost must be a thing in Mexico. That’s not said in Puerto Rico.

[@mariahkemp969]

So you’re saying to put the cake in the fridge with the syrup overnight before putting the whip cream? also, why do you need to pre-cut the cake? I just think it looks more aesthetically pleasing without the cuts but if it’s for a purpose to make the cake more moist or for the milk to spread better can u let me know thanks 😁

[@shawni321]

I ABSOLUTELY loved when you said, "If you're angry when you make your cake, don't do it because it's going to come through in your cake." This is TRUE. You are the only one, of all the channels I watch, who has ever actually said it. TRUTH

[@jessmc90]

This tres leches cake tutorial is by far the best I’ve ever used. My cakes have come out authentic and delicious. My 80 y/old neighbor who grew up in Mexico told me this cake tasted like home. Just follow each step as she says and it will come out great. Thank you Stephanie and Cloud for this gift of a recipe!

[@nadiamesser2148]

It's been 4 years since this video, and for every birthday party in my family, I come back to THIS recipe!!! It's so good!

[@mcguireladonna]

I made this exactly as you said! It was perfect! Beautiful! Delicious! I am so very pleased. Thank you for the perfect instruction!

[@nathaliegbejarano1483]

I got a request for this cake yesterday and I new where to come. I made one today. Since elevations has something to do with baking I always need to try it out first before I give it out. Sooo I will back for 25 minutes @ 350 and add a hole cup of milk to the syrup... "its to die for" thanks so much for all of your teaching and how patient you are with us. Thanks to the fam bam for giving us the opportunity to enjoy your cooking and you! They are great as well.

[@rhondawilliams9449]

You make cooking the heart that goes into the home. It is true that sometimes our lives are so busy that we are lucky if we can throw together a 30 minute meal. But when we can put thought into our cooking that is the love ingredient that makes the meal feel like we're home, we're safe, and we're loved. Everyone has gather together around the table, the house is quiet and you look up and see contentment on their faces as they savor each bite. That's when you know life is good. Then my son belches and we all start laughing. That's when we know life is joyful. Thank you for teaching us that we aren't just throwing together a meal but we are sharing our love for our families and friends right there in the kitchen. This is the way it should always be, after all, it is love that nourishes our hearts and our souls. By the way, the cake looks divine. I know Cloud is going to enjoy it! Thank you!

I just found your channel, and I absolutely love your recipes and personality! I can’t wait to see your channel grow even larger, because I can tell you deserve it. You and your channel are SPECIAL! ♥️

[@minaalicet5638]

I made the first tres leches cake and immediately knew what you meant about the difference in the flour you used versus the tres leches 2.0. It worked out perfect because I used the first video as my first time making tres leches cake and by the time you uploaded the 2.0 version, I was ready ready! And it came out so much better than the first one! Not as dense and super delicious. Thanks for putting details down to the T, it helped a lot! Great recipe!!

[@Viewsontheroad]

This recipe has brought so much joy and wonderful memories. The 1.0 is how I made it so my sons can enjoy with the family. He has come a long way and the 2.0 version is more traditional. I'm so happy to hear this recipe worked for you. I put a lot of work in this recipe from the ingredients to the steps. Thank you for your feedback❤️

[@her.saving]

I made this for thanksgiving and my boyfriend loved it, he took the pan home to his family and they also loved it! brownie points for my future suegros lol

[@baileythomas8929]

I’ve made this twice and everyone has LOVED it. first time I made it was a little bit of a struggle only because I did not let my eggs get room temperature. Letting them sit out and to room temp made all the difference! I keep it simple and do a ton of strawberries on top of mine. Thank you for sharing this with the world. I will make this for my children and when they have children I’ll make it for them. Thank you for the little piece of you that will be passed down in my family hopefully forever❤️♥️🤗

[@lilemi10]

TIP: if your egg whites aren’t whipping, that mean either the bowl or utensils you are using are dirty and that’ll prevent the eggs to stiffen.

[@Naanii77]

Or the bowl or whisk is wet. Even a drop of water will prevent it from stiffening.

[@mishilaashlyn5994]

Thank you so much for this! I washed the bowl before I tried whipping the eggs I thought I was going crazy

[@jasper7824]

Also if any of the egg yolks get into the egg whites it won't whip up

[@genesisflores304]

I made this yesterday and my family said it’s the best tres leches they ever had. Thank you for the amazing recipe!

[@MsArtaUSA]

I made this cake yesterday and Omg it was the best tres leches that i have ever tried. I made few changes. I added cream of tartar and that helped not to overmix the egg whites. I also cut down on the sugar in the recipe. As i was eating this cake i blessed you and i am very grateful for all that you do. Thank you. God bless you my dear 🙏

[@anakurmas7918]

I just made this and BEST tres leches cake I’ve ever had!! Thank you so much!!!

So... I made this cake for work staff and for two days I kept getting compliments. It came out PERFECT and I was shocked! You broke it down so well that people can indeed be successful. I was worried it would be too soggy and soft after just baked, but after 12-24 hours in fridge it was perfecty firm. I used maraschino cherries instead of strawberries. I also added more milk and cream just as you recommended. I LOVE YOU 😘

[@olgaminchuk8997]

I baked your cake this morning after failing with the first one from another recipe. This one turned out amazing!! I am saving it into my recipes playing and will always make this.

I made this yesterday and it was AMAZING!!!! I've tried to make tres leche vake in the past and they would come out hard lol but this was perfectly spongy!!! It did come out a little on the dry side but next time I'll just add more milk mixture. As a fellow Autism mom I was excited to see my son ate 2 big pieces though...

Thank you so much for this very detailed and informative video! I must have watched it about 4 times before I worked up the nerve to actually make it lol. I was so scared I was going to ruin it! I watched a few other videos to get a feel for it, but they all felt so rushed and I could tell how much love and work you put into this recipe for us. So I made it last night for my mom for Mother’s Day, and it turned out absolutely perfect!! Everyone loved it and couldn’t believe I’d never made it before. Definitely making it again very soon! I owe it to you! 🥰

I love Tres leches I did the other recipe you have on your channel with the swan down flour and it was a little more on the firm side but it was still super delicious everyone loved it, I use to work in a professional kitchen but I was a line cook and I would always go hang out with the pastry chef and help her out sometimes (with what I could cause I’m not advance in pastry at all) so I was a little upset that it didn’t come out spongy like the one she would make for the restaurant but now I see that it must have been the cake flour I used and I’m so happy you made a new version of it , my sons 3 bday is coming up and I’m planning on making mini Tres leches for his party with this new recipe, so thank so much for providing us with a softer cake I’m so excited to try it out!

Omg. I made this cake for my daughter's birthday and it was delicious - PERFECT! I followed the directions exactly. knew it was good when my mom gave it a 10. I did reduce the sugar for the whipped topping to 1/3 cup and I will use unsweetened condensed milk next time. Thank you!!!💖

I have made both versions of your tres leches cake now! The first time I still used AP flour because here in Northern Ireland you can't really get cake flour in the local supermarkets. I didn't find too much of a difference in the recipes, this one from this video is slightly softer but nothing too noticeable for me! Love this recipe so much, and my family do too! ❤ Thanks so much for sharing ❤

I guess cake flour is Flour with corn starch .

Plastic utensils to not stick to the cake. You can poke holes with a plastic fork and it will not lift up any cake crumbs :) same with cutting brownies, if you cut with a plastic knife they will remain intact! 😍😍😍😍

Thank you! I just want to say I followed your instructions perfectly and the cake was just beautiful. It was super spongy, and soft, it soaked up the milks so well. I waited for a day where I felt good and was looking forward to baking this cake, and that probably made a difference too. Thank you also for giving a range of baking time. Mine, just as another person who commented here, also got done in 20 mins. (180 degree C).

Thank you so much for your detailed step by step instructions. I followed every step to the tee and my cake came out perfect!

Hi, I’m from sunny South Africa and love cooking & baking. Actually an electrician, but I love woodworking and welding projects too! I’ve made several Tres Leches cakes - and stuck to your previous recipe after several other ones was just not as good and easy as yours. Just found your new version - and it follows easy - was a breeze! Your previous version was such a staple at all our family and church functions, that friends and family is visibly disappointed when I show up, without a Tres Leches cake! So - You’re making me look awesome, if I show up with your Tres Leches cake… and its my daughter in laws birthday tomorrow - I’m not gonna disappoint them again! It’s in the oven at the moment. Just gonna be making the lovely sauce now.

[@joerios78er]

Just wanted to tell you that I made your delicious cake and then I made it one more time the second time around I made it while I was very upset I had gotten super angry at my spouse and it came through on my cake like you said and I didn't remember that you mentioned it at the end of the video but it made me laugh when I watched it again today... but I'm trying it one more time today let's see how it goes I'm not mad I swear I'm very happy today🤞🏻👩🏽‍🍳🎂

I've now made this recipe on four different occasions, most recently for a friend's Pride party where I placed fruits in rainbow order across the top. It was gone barely an hour after I put it on the table. I always come back to this and it's never failed me once (except when I try to start it at midnight and I'm sleepy). 🥰🥰

Perfect timing! My husbands birthday is in a few days and this is the cake he asked for. I had no clue how to make it until I found you about a month or so ago, so I’m glad you made remade the video. If I could make a suggestion tho, to put all the ingredients on the same list going forward? I just think it’s easier to get everything together if it’s in one place in the video vs spread out that’s all. Regardless I’ll be following along very soon so thank you!

[@turnippoppy4662]

My husband just texted me asking if I could make him a tres leches cake. I was like. Okay. 5 min later I'm watching every video so I can learn how to properly make it.

[@twinkiesify]

I made this today and it was the best recipe i’ve tried. The consistency is just the way i like, soft but still able to maintain it’s form. What i did different was reducing the amount of condensed milk for the syrup by half because the cake is already sweet.

[@MRsBaluyot]

Oh my goodness. I made this and it blew me away. The only thing I changed was that I added a sprinkle of cinnamon on too of the whipped cream. It really is amazing with a side if berries. I've baked a lot of things before but this is my number 1 now. THANK YOU SO MUCH

I made this cake for my family today and they loved it. I messed up on the egg whites the first time and didn't have more eggs at room temperature so I put a bowl of separated eggs white over some boiled hot water so it could warm the egg whites. It worked perfect this way and they were way more fluffier. Because my family likes more milky flavor, I used less condensed milk and more whole milk. For the first try it was really good! Can't wait to do it again even better!

Now that's exactly what I wanted to hear, it's important to know our family and adjust accordingly. Thank you for sharing the egg white tip.

I’ve never made this before always bought from the store, decided to make for my nephew because it’s his favorite and he love it. I followed everything but the wax paper on the sides and i should have listened to you it did shrink but made it work added fruit in the middle. Will make again thank you for making it easy to follow 💕

I have a 10 year old son on the spectrum with adhd anxiet and sensory disorders. I totally understand the struggle is real. You’re such a good mom to take the extra time and rewrite recipes to suit your childrens specific needs.

I feel like tres leches is sooo underrated! I think it’s a texture thing for a lot of ppl but I adore it! I love it with peaches, mango and strawberry

[@dvlsteardrp]

I tagged you on IG but I think it went into DMs but omg! My husband is obsessed!!! This recipe beat the cake he eats and loves at this one restaurant 🤣 made it for his bday Friday ... Our quarentine bday cake! Lol and he was mad that there weren't any extra pieces after he shared with family 🤣🤣 thanks for making his bday the best !!

I made this for my graduation and it was a MAJOR success. I made it a double layered cake with strawberries in between the two cake layers. My boyfriend won't stop talking about it. Thanks so much!!

Just wanted to say, I watched both your first and second Tres Leche cake vids and followed a combo of both .I think in this one it said 1/2 baking powder in stead of 1 1/2. That's why it combined both. Your presentation is straight forward and welcoming. I like how you warned people who have never baked much to keep going. When new at baking I would have liked that knowledge. Anyhow, this is for my daughter that just turned 30! It's her favorite and now this recipe is her favorite. Thank you so much for sharing your your knowledge.

I watched both videos too. My 15 yr old son requested this cake and it was a big hit!! 😍😍

[@gennahwiley2197]

When I tried tres leches for the first time from a friends birthday party. I wasn’t impress by it but I love the milky flavor it has, so I decided to try to make my own at home. It wasn’t my first time baking cake but it was my first learning to make tres leches. I stumble across your first video on how to make tres leches and I really like how the instruction is detailed. I attempted to make the cake the first time by following your recipe and it was a SUCCESS! I made it for my family and it was a hit! Everyone loved it and especially my sister who is very picky when it comes to dessert and to this day she still keep asking me to make it again! I agree that homemade cake at home taste a lot better and is the most rewarding thing in world when it’s made from scratch! I love tres leches, and it’s now one of my most favorite cakes! I may try to attempt to make this second version of your recipe over the summer! Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe!

The first time I made this cake, it turned out great except the "syrup" was a little too sweet for me. That didn't stop me from eating it though😁. NOW...I just made it a second time and added more whipping cream and a tad less sugar for the syrup and HOLY SMOKES....it turned out DELICIOUS!!! This is THE BEST recipe out there!!! Thank you thank you thank you!💜💜💜

Gunna make this cake for Easter Sunday, can’t wait to make it!! ❤️❤️😂

[@58170128]

Omg Steph... Your last tres leches recipe got me hooked on your videos. I really need to make this! I just don't trust my oven. I have an old fashioned stove/oven so it doesn't heat evenly. 😅

[@fideliaocampo4957]

My first time to make and I was still nerves on how it has turned out but you saying “and if you made it to this part I’m proud of you”, and I did I feel very proud thank you!! I can’t wait until everyone tries this delicious cake! Thank you for sharing your recipe!

[@lovejoy8551]

OMG...I love this cake!!!! You have no idea how many other recipes, I've done and huge dissapointment!!! I love how you take your time, because that's how I do it. I made it for my teenager Birhday party. He's very picky about cakes, but this one he loved it. Doing another one this week.
