Cake Three milks

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 day

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make Three Milk Cake? Very simple! To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. It’s better to start cooking with a biscuit. Take the highest grade flour. Large, selected eggs are needed. If the eggs are small, take 4 pieces.

2. STEP 2

   

   Divide the eggs into yolks and whites. It is important that when separating, not a drop of yolk gets into the white, otherwise it will not foam.

3. STEP 3

   

   In a bowl, mix sifted flour, 80 g sugar, baking powder and salt.

4. STEP 4

   

   In a large bowl, combine the yolks, room temperature milk and vegetable oil and beat with a mixer until smooth.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour the flour mixture into the beaten yolks and stir until smooth.

6. STEP 6

   

   Separately, in a clean bowl, beat the whites until light foam. Gradually adding 20 g of sugar and vanilla sugar, beat until a dense mass that does not fall out when turning the bowl. It is important that the cream is at least 33% fat. The whipping container and the cream itself should be cold; keep them in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours.

7. STEP 7

   

   Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter using a spatula. The movements of the shoulder blade should be from top to bottom (see video).

8. STEP 8

   

   The dough should be semi-thick and airy.

9. STEP 9

   

   Transfer the dough into a springform pan lined with parchment (Ø 18-20 cm). There is no need to lubricate it. Lightly tap the pan on the table to release the air. Bake the sponge cake in an oven preheated to 160°C for 45-50 minutes until the skewer is dry. The exact time depends on your oven. Do not open the oven during baking. Leave the biscuit for 5-7 minutes in the switched off oven with the door ajar.

10. STEP 10

    

    Turn the finished biscuit over in the pan and leave until completely cooled.

11. STEP 11

    

    Then wrap in film and leave for 6-8 hours at room temperature. Thanks to this, the biscuit will not become soggy during soaking.

12. STEP 12

    

    Prepare the filling. You can change the proportions of condensed milk and concentrated milk to your taste. You can replace regular milk with cream with a fat content of 10-20%.

13. STEP 13

    

    Combine three types of milk in a bowl and stir until smooth

14. STEP 14

    

    Place the biscuit pan on a plate. Run a knife along the sides of the pan, but do not remove the biscuit. Using a skewer, make deep holes in the biscuit all the way to the bottom.

15. STEP 15

    

    Saturate the sponge cake little by little with the filling.

16. STEP 16

    

    Tighten the biscuit directly into the mold and refrigerate for 2-3 hours. During this time, the filling will be completely absorbed into the dough.

17. STEP 17

    

    Prepare the cream. Instead of butter cream, you can whip thick, fatty sour cream with sugar or make a cream based on cream and melted cream cheese.

18. STEP 18

    

    Beat the cold cream with a mixer with powdered sugar until fluffy and thick. Just don't beat it - the cream may flake and turn into butter.

19. STEP 19

    

    Remove the biscuit from the mold and place it on a plate. Using a pastry bag, spread the whipped cream onto the surface of the cake.

20. STEP 20

    

    Decorate the finished cake with fresh berries and serve. Bon appetit!

The original name of this cake “Tres leches” is translated from Spanish as Three Milks. Although in our opinion this is more of a pie than a cake, it can, if desired, be decorated like a cake. The whole highlight of the cake is that it will be soaked in milk filling for several hours. The taste is a moist sponge cake with a milky taste, which can be shaded with any other flavor by adding berries or fruits to the cream, or maybe chocolate - whatever you like!
