Tres Leches Cake from R House
Serves 12

Ingredients

Cake
– 5 eggs
– 1 c sugar
– 2 c all-purpose flour
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 1 Tbsp baking powder
– 5 Tbsp water
– 5 Tbsp oil
– 1 Tbsp vanilla extract

Milk Mixture
– 1 can sweeten condensed milk (14 oz)
– 32 oz heavy cream
– 2 cans evaporated milk (12 oz)

Method
In a bowl, whip eggs with sugar until soft, pale, and foamy. In another bowl, mix flour with baking powder and salt. In a third bowl, combine water, oil, and vanilla extract. In a large mixing bowl, combine all three bowls and mix well to form a batter. Pour batter into cake pans sprayed with Baker’s Joy. Bake at 325 degrees for 20 minutes. When done, and while still warm, cut off the tops of the cakes. To make the milk mixture, combine condensed milk, heavy cream, and evaporated milk. Place cakes loose in open tray, and pour milk mixture over them, adding more as the milk becomes absorbed. Spoon milk mixture over top of cakes to aid absorption. Serve with caramel praline sauce and garnish with whipped cream and a mint leaf.
