Have you ever attempted the tres leches cake? This is among my personal favorite cakes. A.ma.zing. It’s super moist, not very sweet and extremely satisfying. We usually allow it to be like a single layer sheet cake however i’ve had a lot of questions regarding turning this right into a layered tres leches cake which i couldn’t resist. It labored out superbly and will make a great special day cake. I required this cake to my siblings house and introduced the wedding cake platter home clean :). Kids appear to actually love this cake too. I think you'll appreciate it!

Steps to make Tres Leches Cake Layers:
Preheat Oven to 350F. Butter and flour two 9″ round cake pans
1. Setup 3 mixing bowls: 1 medium and a pair of large bowls. Within the medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Put aside.
2. Separate eggs in to the other two large bowls. Egg yolks into one and egg-whites in to the other. Beat egg yolks with 3/4 cup sugar on high-speed until yolks are pale yellow (approximately 2 min). Stir in 1/3 cup milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring.
3. Pour flour mixture over your egg yolk mixture and beat on low speed using the mixer until just combined.
4. Having a clean, dry whisk, beat egg-whites on high-speed until soft peaks form (one minute). Using the mixer on, pour in remaining 1/4 cup sugar and beat on high-speed until egg-whites are stiff although not dry (one minute).
5. Lightly fold egg-whites in to the yolk/flour mixture until just combined. Divide evenly between two cake pans and bake at 350F for half an hour or until a toothpick arrives clean. Turn cake onto a wire rack and permit to awesome to room temp.
6. When cakes have cooled, trim the perimeters having a serrated knife to balance out the perimeters.

Assembling the wedding cake:
1. Place among the layers, flat side lower, on the cake platter. Utilizing a fork, poke the very best throughout, going completely towards the edges and poke with the depth from the cake. Make use of a spoon to pour on 1 / 2 of the three-milk syrup. Let cake stand and absorb the syrup when you beat the frosting (see instructions below).
2 Generously frost the top of the the first layer, then arrange sliced bananas outrageous of the frosting.
3. The next cake layer is going to be placed using the flat side up so before putting it within the bananas, make use of a fork to poke the flat working surface throughout, visiting the edges. Now put your poked cake top within the bananas.
4. Spoon the rest of the 1 / 2 of the three-milk syrup evenly over your top layer. Let cake stand 10-fifteen minutes for that syrup to absorb for simpler frosting.
5. Frost the very best and sides from the cake and lessen frosting having a cake spatula. I decorated the very best with halved bananas, placed in an position round the top border from the cake. It had been easy and just perfect.
Steps to make the Frosting
1. For the best results with whipping cream, freeze your mixing bowl and egg beaters or whisk attachment for fifteen minutes. Make certain your whipping cream is extremely cold.

Hi Tzivia, to tell the truth, I haven’t attempted freezing this cake, only refrigerating in order to’t say without a doubt. It works with peaches but bear in mind that fresh peaches brown so if you wish to refrigerate for some time, you may consider canned peaches. Reply
