Ingredients

12
  • 1+1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1+1/2 cup sugar
  • 6 Eggs
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 3 cup flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 can evaporated milk
  • 1/4 cup milk

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

  2. 2

    Lightly grease a bundt cake pan and set aside.

  3. 3

    In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the butter and sugar on medium speed until it lightens in color.

  4. 4

    Add 3 eggs to the mixture and continue beating until fully incorporated into the batter.

  5. 5

    Add ½ cup flour and the baking powder and beat on medium speed until fully absorbed and incorporated.

  6. 6

    Repeat the process, adding the 3 remaining eggs and beating until fully incorporated.

  7. 7

    Then add another ½ cup flour and mix until combined.

  8. 8

    Add the vanilla extract and ½ cup milk. Once mixed add 1 cup flour. Repeat the process with the remaining milk and flour and mix until the batter is fluffy.

  9. 9

    Scoop the batter into the prepared bundt cake pan and put in the oven.

  10. 10

    Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour or until done.

  11. 11

    Remove from the oven and gently loosen the edges with a spatula. Turn the pan over onto a cooling rack and let it cool down for around 30 minutes.

  12. 12

    Remove the pan and set aside.

  13. 13

    With the help of a skewer, poke holes over the whole surface of the cake. This will allow the tres leches mixture to sink into the cake.

  14. 14

    In a small bowl combine the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk and milk.

  15. 15

    Slowly pour ¾ of the tres leches mixture over the cake. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.

  16. 16

    Serve sliced with a drizzle of the remaining tres leches mixture.
