Tresleches cake

This mexican 3 milk cake as the name suggests is so moist that anyone would go gaga over it like my hubby;)Made it for my husband's bday and we all loved it.

A simple sponge cake made with care and transformed into something awesome with the milk mixture! infact Ive used four types of  milk in my cake
for the milk mixture-condensed milk,evaporated milk,single cream and milk in the cake.

To start with-

1) preheat oven to 350degree f and get organized-

-Separate-5 eggs -egg white and yolk into two bowls-

-Sift a cup and a half of all purpose flour with two teaspoons baking powder

-set aside 1/2cup of sugar 

- one teaspoon vanilla essence

- 1/3rd cup of milk

2) Beat the egg yolks with half of sugar the half cup sugar  till it doubles and becomes a pale yellow colour.

3) combine the

-vanilla essence

-milk

With the egg yolk mixture

Set aside

5)Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt and rest half that is remaining.

6) Beat till it doubles an peaks form .combine to the egg yolk mixture.

7) this step is very important- slowly fold in the egg white and yolk mixture to the flour without loosing the air in it.do not beat.

7) bake in a preheated 350 degree f or 180 degree C oven for 15-20 minutes till it turns golden brown.leave it to cool slightly.

8)For the milk mixture,combine together 

-a can of condensed milk

-a can of evaporated milk

-1/3 rd cup of single cream or whole milk.

9)fork the surface of the sponge cake -few pricks are enough( I had the tendency to prick too much ;)

10) pour the milk mixture to the warm cake and let it soak all the milkiness...

11) let it soak and keep it refrigerated for Atleast 3 hours.I kept my cake overnight to soak.trust me the wait is worth it:-)

12) cover the cake with whipped cream-the traditional way.. And decorate as you wish!

 

I used few raspberries to bring out the white and wrote the bday wish with chocolate ganache.I present to you..tresleches cake!
