Makes 1 9-x-13-inch (23-x-33 cm) cake
Serves 16 to 20
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 50 minutes
Cake
½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter
1 cup (250 mL) 2% milk
4 eggs at room temperature
2 cups (400 g) granulated sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups (300 g) all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
Milk Mixture
1 300 mL tin sweetened condensed milk
1 354 mL tin evaporated milk
3/4 cup (175 mL) whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
Topping
2 ½ cups (625 mL) whipping cream
¼ cup (32 g) icing sugar
2 Tbsp instant skim milk powder
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup (100 g) sweetened shredded coconut, lightly toasted (optional)
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 325 °F (160°C). Grease a 9-x-13-inch (23-x-33 cm) baking pan and dust the bottom and sides with flour, tapping out any excess flour.
2. For the cake, heat the butter and milk over low heat until the butter has melted. Set the mixture aside to cool slightly.
3. Whip the eggs, sugar and vanilla on high speed using electric beaters or a mixer fitted with the whip attachment until the eggs are doubled in volume, 3 to 4 minutes. Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. Fold half of the flour mixture into the whipped eggs, then add all of the butter mixture, then fold in the remaining flour mixture. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan.
4. Bake the cake for about 40 minutes**, until a tester inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean.
5. While the cake is baking, prepare the milk mixture. Stir the condensed milk, evaporated milk, whipping cream and vanilla together. After the cake has come out of the oven and cooled for 10 minutes, poke holes in the cake using a bamboo skewer and slowly pour the milk mixture over the entire surface of the cake (the cake will absorb all the moisture and swell up). Cool the cake to room temperature and then chill then cake for at least 3 hours.
6. For the topping, whip the cream until the cream holds a soft peak. Stir in the icing sugar, skim milk powder and vanilla and then spread or pipe the cream over the surface of the cake. Garnish the top of the cake with toasted coconut (if using) and keep the cake chilled until ready to serve. The cake must be stored and sliced directly from the pan.
The cake will keep, refrigerated, for up to 5 days.
**If baking the cake in a ceramic or porcelain dish, for presentation, you may need to add 10-15 minutes to the bake time (ceramic takes longer to heat up than metal or glass).

#AnnasOccasions #TresLeches #OhYum - Jak na to + styl
From the UK and made this for the first time the other day and took it to a bbq and also made your Coffee cake.
Everybody went mental for both , however the Tres Leches went in a flash!!!
Everybody loved it.
Thank you for your videos you really have helped me with my baking and now if I ever feel bored or a bit stressed I make cakes.
Which is something I always thought I wasn’t good at.
Thank you 😊
Simply love for this cake ❤️
My husband is from Guatemala! We just got back a couple of weeks ago from visiting his family there. I have learned to love the country and rich culture. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
I’ve never seen a more beautiful tres leches cake. 👌
Looks great, i can't wait to try it.
Update - I finally got had all the ingredients and time to do this. Thanks for sharing! Its absolutely delicious.
I love it. Definitely it's another recipe, but I'm fan of all tres leches cakes. I'm going to try it.
I cannot wait to make this cake, will be my first time making it and eating it! I love all your videos Anna! A big thank you!
Très Lèches Cake looks incredible!
Love watching you bake ...from South Africa🇿🇦
Sounds awesome. Can't wait for big parties to start again, so that I can cook this baby !
Un bizcocho espectacular y super sencillo.Gracias por mostrarnos tu linda receta. Saludos

I started my baking career with your help🙌❤️
It’s look really delicious and very soon I’ll try it.

My favorite cake...i love it❤
Great
It look amazing Anna thank you
With a chocolate cake is very good too. Thank you for sharing.
Gracias anna por compartir la receta
I just made this and its absolutely perfect i looooove it
I'm from Guatemala! I'm glad that you came for a visit! What did you like the most? Aside tres leches, which dish did you enjoy the most?
Hi Anna, I finally made this cake yesterday.
It came out perfectly.
Thanks for the recipe
Thank you Anna! This is so perfect for Easter family's menu too. Best vishes. Katie from Hungary. ❤
I can't wait to make it 😍 I have prepared your chocolate cake twice and it is just my best so far 😋
It’s also a popular dessert from Texas to California. It’s one of my favorites!!
Thank you so much for your so nice teaching videos 👍🌹👍🌹👍🌹
Delicious!
Thank you so much for the recipe 😊😁😃😄😍🤗☺
Delicious cake.
Very appetizing
Adorable como siempre...
A tres leches is something I have really been wanting to try
Normally in Mexico tres leches’ sponge has no added fat to it. It’s basically flour, eggs and sugar. That’s it. It’s probably the most popular cake in this country, I had it for every single birthday party when I was younger… and I absolutely hate it. 😂
When y come México city In case y live in other state or country, try the Macram bakery. They got differents kind of tres leches cake, recomend on there the coffe one. Or try to make el de chocolate abuelita or conejo de chocolate tres leches cake i love that ones ! Saludos
Delicious 😋
Very nice cake and delicious ❤️❤️👍
I made this Tres Leches cake, and my rating is 6/10. My rating is not as high as it could be because of three main reasons. My first reason is the lightness of this sponge cake. This sponge cake was very filling and thick, which in some recipes this should be a good thing. But when I think of milk and a sponge cake I think of lightness, moistness and a hint of sweetness, almost like a cloud. Unfortunately, this recipe was not how I expected it to be. I believe part of this is, because the instructions said to melt the butter with the first milk. Part of what makes cakes light is the creaming process, which incorporates air, thus making the cake lighter and tender. This may give reason to why the sponge cake doesn't have enough lightness. My second reason is the amount of milk used in this recipe. I believe the sponge cake needed more milk to soak in, which will help with the moist dilemma. My last reason is the sweetness level, I believe recipe had a tad too much sweetness. I would advise that you use less sugar in the batter or unsweetened condensed milk. Disclaimer: In NO ways am i trying to insult nor offend the person who created this recipe. I am merely giving suggestions and ways to make it better than it already is. I find it so selfless how Ms. Olson gives us free content and recipes. She is very knowledgeable, and I respect her opinions. Thank you😁
Hi there, Anna! Greetings from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. One of my favorite recipes ever! DO 👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤
Muy bien🤗😍🇩🇴 this is another way to make this wonderful dessert, thank you Anna Olson you are the best!! And I'm going to tell you a secret, most of your recipes I converted into a gluten free recipes for my husband and they come out great, thanks again. Love you ❤
It looks soooo gooooooood
What the heck!! I actually have ALL of those ingredients!! I’m on it tomorrow. I made your flan a couple wks ago & it was so silky smooth. I’m going to give the cinnamon rolls a second try.
I am from Mexico and this cake is my favorite dessert ever
Gracias👍from mexico
Thanks Anna delicious 😋😋😋😋😋 love it❤❤❤❤😘🌷
I followed your recipe and for the first time I had the perfect "sponge cake". Thank you very much, the cake is dangerously delicious.
So well demonstrated.
Anna, you instill confidence in all your viewers ( and fans 😃).
Oh my word I need to eat this so like right now
I used to make três leches all the time but it is sooo rich and really sweet...i like to add fruit on top instead of the coconut....like berries
If it’s too rich for you, half the condensed milk. I sometime use reg milk and replace the heavy cream. I also sometimes use vanilla in combination with a rum extract. The original tres leches actually uses rum.
I do switch it up
I use condensed coconut milk instead.
Its less sweet ..and I also use rum extract and sometimes even almond
Oh YUMMMMMMMM!
Omg she has a recipe too ??!! Yaaas
Delicious! in my country PERU, we don't put milk in the mix to make the cake.For the three milks, we mix in a pot and boil (milk cream, evaporated milk and condensed milk) and bathe it in the cake. =)
The video quality for recent videos is really good, even for 480p
You are beautiful and beautiful baking style
I love your smile from Pakistan 👍
I love ur vids Anna
U r the BEST 😘😘😘😘
great
Yummmm
Simply delicious!! What a creamy, sweet, and yummy cake it is! However, I prefer it with a pinch of cinnamon on top instead of coconut.
Why not just a tiny bit of both? Personally, I also add about 1/3 cup of golden aged rum to the milk mixture. Really helps balance the sweetness and richness of the milk, and is not overly rummy/alcohol tasting. Hope that helps!
@@alyssacunningham5690 Sounds great! I like the idea and I´m sure it would taste fantastic! Thanks.
Anaa u r super
I looked at this thumbnail for so long. That whipped cream looked like ramen and it took me a good minute to figure it out hahah. Great recipe
Looks delicious 😋 I recently made chocolate cake tres leches and it was yummy I’m going to be trying pineapple 🍍 tres leches perfect for summer
It’s actually piña colada tres leches
Yum 🤤
Y ahora ya hay de sabores.... Cajeta, capuccino, durazno, fresa, rompope.... 😋😋😋😋😋.... Todos son DELICIOOOOSSOOOSS.... Soy super fan del pastel de tres leches.....
Looks great! Doe the cake need to completely cool before adding the milks?
No. You can wait about 15-20 minutes and then add the milk mixture.
I'll wash all the dishes for a month if you make one for me🤣
❤
😋😋😋
Look very delicious 🤤 😋🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂
Due to the syrup and the whipped cream topping, does it need to be refrigerated?
I am thinking Tres leches with some of Rompope on It 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Please advise how best to toast coconut
Would cake flour be better?
Great idea 👌 love it.
Can I bake to he sponge cake with 1 cup of sugar instead of two?
Trying to reduce sugar intake😜
Sadly, it is difficult to reduce or even change the amount of sugar in BAKED cakes because cake making is all about science, and sugar is integral to the structure. That said, it is entirely possible to swap out the sugar in one-layer cakes, such as 9 x 9, or 9 x 13" pans. I've done it very successfully. Not a PRAYER, however, with a layer cake. Good sugar substitutes are Pyure Organic Stevia Mix and Truvia (which is essentially the exact same thing, only more expensive. You can find Pyure at Walmart or on Amazon, definitely; other places as well, but Amazon's price is the best. and they sell it in 1 lb., bags as opposed to the smaller amount in Truvia's plastic jars). Hope that helps!
@@alyssacunningham5690 thank you👍
I always reduce the amount of sugar in my cakes from what the recipe calls for, and they turn out fine. Recipes are formulated by bakers according to taste, not science. As long as there is a reasonable amount of sugar in proportion to the fats then the structure won't be affected. I find that many recipes, especially British ones are far sweeter than they need to be. Try it! 😊
Yup 2 cups of sugar is way too much. I would reduce both sugar to 1 cup instead of 2 cups and the condensed milk to half a can instead of a full can.
I've never had a home made tres leche cake but after seeing this video I'm ready to give it a shot! Also, I noticed that you put powdered milk in the cream. Can you tell me what that does? Does it stabilize the whipped cream? Thanks Anna. I love your recipes!! 💞
Yes it does......more of a 'set' finish.
What if I want to make mango tres leches ?
You can make it four leches by piping some Dulce de Leche on top with your whipping cream!
Me podria dar la receta en castellano por favor. Gracias.
Why are we using whipping cream when we are not going to whip it in the soak mixture? Can you use normal milk instead? Or whipping cream makes a huge difference?
It does not, I often use milk instead of heavy cream to make it less heavy.
Im confused. I thought the three milks was because its combination of 3 liquids which is then poured on top of the cake, and not counting the one used in the batter? O.o
You are right. In Latin America we mix: whole milk, condensed milk and evaporated milk and pour all the liquid into the baked sponge cake. The cake is very moist and sweet when its done, so we use less sugar in the cake batter. But this is Anna's recipe and I think its worth to try it!😄
@@itacoello5302 Yeah I thought thats how it usually was. Thanks. But I bet Anna's cake is still delicious though.
@@kidfrom1981 I agree with you!. She mentioned in the video that are different recepies to make it.
0:50 🤣
Any particular reason for not using self-raising flour, or is it just that it's hard to find in Canada? 🤗
Professional baker/confectionary NEVER uses self-raising flour, that's industry nonsense.
@@VIDEOGAMEPLUS true that!
The recipe in the description says the topping uses 2 1/2 cups of whipping cream, but in the video she says 2 cups. Does anybody know which is right?
It doesn’t matter. Just taste it for sweetness but really it doesn’t matter because the tres leches will be sweet enough.
*laughs in lactose intolerance*
Can we use oil instead of butter?
Ill let you know a secret, I sometimes use a presets box cake mixture and it is delicious. Also, make your tres leches at least 2 days before, the longer you let it sit, the better it is and in the day if Servín got, then add the whip cream.
What was the purpose of the powdered milk in the whipped creame?
Powdered sugar and skim milk powder are for stabilizing the whipped
@@violetnguyen506 Hi Violet, thank you for the answering my question.😊❤❤❤ I've stabilized whipped creame with geletin in the past. I'd love to try the powdered milk but I have to buy a big box of it and it just just doesn't make sense.
Driving me insame the way your saying it.
Why don’t you let us see what the cake is like inside. It’s no good letting us see a pile of cream with coconut on
Wish you cut it so we can see the inside
soy una de las pocas latinas que no le gusta este postre
هي هذي مو وصفة الترليشا (كيكة الحليب ) التركية 🤔
oh my lord the double narration is making me go INSANE 😭 no hate though, Anna!
I was hoping that you would have cut a slice so we could see the cake! 😩
Maybe is a Guatemala tres leches cake style but the original recipe is from Mexico the cake sponge is less heavy, less sweet and the tres leches mix has regular milk instead of whipped cream and pecans instead of coconut flakes ….but good try and I pretty sure is delicious too…sorry if I seem mean, but I think any original recipe from any country ... it must be show as it is, or at least say that it is not the original recipe it’s a own version 🤷🏻♀️
Why is my cake sinking in the middle 😩
Don't worry, the middle was probably not baked enough but the whipped creame will hide the dip in the middle😊.
2 cups of sugar that's bit too much 🙄
Tried today guys and didnt went well.She gave us wrong measurements of the ingredients .the only thing that went well was the topping the rest failed completely 😑
*skips because is not made by a latin@ *
Come on i was expecting my people
Where did she get this recipe???? The cake in Tres Leches is made without milk or butter! It’s only egg whites, egg yolks (yes, separated to achieve sponginess), sugar, salt, vanilla, whole purpose flour and baking powder.
The three milks are whole, condensed and evaporated milk, that are blended well and used to drench the sponge cake. Also, the cake is topped with Swiss meringue or even a simple sweet meringue.
SMH.-
ugh!!!.... i was waiting all this time to see you take a piece and cut through it so we could see the moist and fluffiness of the cake.
disappointed.
