Thanks for the ingredients, I wanted to jot it down and now I have it!
What type of sugar?
@@mahdiyat White, granulated sugar :)
@@mahdiyatyou will also need powdered sugar
I made this the other day and it is easily the best tres leches I’ve ever made. I doubled the milk mix like suggested, and I finally got the moist texture I like in a tres leches cake. The cake held up so well. I would say days 2-3 are the best days for this cake. Having it on the first day is a sin because it doesn’t do the cake justice. It needs to soak at least overnight to really get the full flavor and texture. Next time, I am going to steep the milk mixture with citrus peels and cinnamon sticks for extra depth of flavor and then soak the cake. Takes a bit more time but so, so worth it! Thank you so much good sir. You are a master of your craft. Everything I’ve made by you is always perfect and I think it’s due to how much attention you pay to details and how well you communicate with your audience. You really take the time to think about everything and it shows because when I make a recipe of yours I’m never confused or lost. You think of it all!
I made it and some parts came out chewy???? Suggestions??
So if I make the cake tonight and let the milks soak in overnight and make the whipped cream in the morning and put the whipped cream on, will it hold till dinner time?

Filter the flour
Mix with the egg yolks evenly before folding the whites
Add the flour in batches to the york rather than vice versa
@@veronicat6776 I will😢😂😢cbvvvggvgnn he had Zx
@@ashleeridgway3017 did it?
This is seriously close to my abuela recipe. I’m going to make it for her using this recipe and surprise her. She’s has dementia and I bet when she bites into this cake she’s gonna have a good day.
Aww that is so sweet! I hope it's a taste she loves!
@@PreppyKitchen I just wanted to let you know, I made this for my grandma and it seriously gave her a whole hour of remembering everything. She said it was delicious and she is so proud of the woman I have become. The power of food. Thank you for sharing your delicious magical recipe 🥹❤️
@@reirei7851I am so glad you updated us! I was going to ask how it went. So happy you got that hour back with your abuela. It sounds like a moment that will forever stay with you. I hope life is treating you well. God bless🙏🏼
@@18238 aww Madison. That’s so sweet of you. Sadly since, she has passed away. But that moment of having her back for just a little while was everything to me.
Isn't his mother Mexican? Could be why the recipe is close 😋
I followed this recipe. I had never made a cake from scratch or done anything requiring egg separating or anything like that, so I was slightly overwhelmed at first 😂 but you made it look so easy and it was really easy to follow along to! With each successful step I felt super proud of myself. From seeing perfect peeking egg whites to looking at my cake that looked exactly like a sponge, I felt really accomplished every step of the way.
The whole reason I even made this cake was because someone very special to me told me it was his favorite cake and that it was what he wanted most for his birthday. He said it was the best tres leches he has ever had. And everyone else who tried it was crazy about it too.
I just wanted to say thank you so much for an amazing recipe and for a great, easy to follow video tutorial. It felt really good to make this for someone who means so much to me. I also loved the feeling I got from baking this cake and I can’t wait to try out more recipes and enhance my baking skills with these videos ❤
your comment made me so happy and reminded me why i love baking! hope you have a great time enhancing your skills :)
I’m in the same boat never baked a cake from scratch and making this for my lovely boyfriend for his birthday tomorrow as a surprise because it’s his favorite! I hope I have as much success as you!
I just had my first slice of tres leches cake ever about 10 minutes ago and I can't believe I have been missing out this whole time: it's delicious!
I imagine John would lend himself so well to an animated series! He has such an expressive face and the perfect crooked smile, so random but I of course mean this in the best possible way ☺️🤓
I made this for our Eid celebration and it was the best cake of my life! I can’t wait for another occasion to make it again! I can’t explain how delicious the flavour is and the cake comes out so perfect for the milk syrup! Love love love! Thank you
Absolutely loved this recipe! My family devoured the entire cake in minutes!
Thank you! thank you!
Your recipes never dissapoint and are always a hit! ❤
Ahhhh love Tres Leches cake! I was fortunate to have grown up in a neighborhood that had local Mexican bakeries and they would have these made fresh daily. It has become one of my all-time favorites ❤️.
Tres leches is from nicaragua
My ten year old girl learns how to make your amazing brownies from you 🤗

So good!!!!
Finally! I’ve been waiting for this recipe for so long, I’m so excited to make your tres leches recipe, I’m sure it will be amazing.✨
I'm making this lactose free for my hubby to try. I'm using coconut milk, condensed coconut milk, and lactose free evaporated milk. The milk mixture tasted so good right now!
My mum has a mexican cook book, she made this cake since I was a child we call it three milk cake. Absolutely love this cake, it has been a family favourite. I'm from Australia and it's not known that well here
Yeah the translation of it it’s tres leche which means three milk cake ;). It’s delicious omg!
Not trying to be rude but that's literally the translation of it, from spanish to english
@Death Reaper235 yes I'm aware as the first comment on this post said that.
@@stephanie5173 nice nice
My bad if i sounded rude
Just made this cake with your recipe and let me tell you! I’m not a fan of tres leeches, but my grandmother loves it so I wanted to surprise her for her birthday coming up! I made a test cake last night that me and my boyfriend tasted! It was AMAZING!! I absolutely loved it! THANK YOU!
My boyfriend proposed to me after this! Thank you!🥹
That's my goal with mine girl😂❤
lol
Made that cake yesterday and it turned out just amazing!!!!! My finace and my relatives also love it!!! Thanks!!!
1. This video convinced me that I can bake this cake.
2. Sweetened condensed milk in iced coffee is better than ANY Starbucks drink!
You need to try karak coffee!
I made this for a Christmas Eve family lunch and it was amazing! The perfect dessert for this crowd!
This Cake its exactly the perfect balance of soft textures, sweet and milk! I've been doing it for several times and this year, TODAY, it was the request of my husband for his B-day cake! Lovely! Thank you so Much! Delicious!
is it just me or people here also really watch his videos just for the sake of watching gives genuine joy b/c he really nails it explaining the recipe .
My dad will add ground cinnamon on top of the cake and it will add a extra punch of flavor to the cake. Tres leches cake is always a delight. I love your feed. Everything looks delicious.
I prepared it today for Mother’s day celebration, following your instructions, and it was a successful and delicious dessert! Thank you!
Preppy kitchen is my go to channel when I want to make something new! Love the recipes and how easy everything is
I made this recipe yesterday as a gift to a coworker on her birthday!She loved it.She has a mouth-gasm.
I have never wanted a tres leches cake more than i do right now! Great job 👏
I love how u provide the recipes instead of just talking about the decoration like other bakers. Thank u so much for this awesome video! I'm a recent and proud subscriber.
I’ve been wanting to make this cake for Mother’s Day! Thanks!
My boyfriend tried this at a Peruvian restaurant and told me it was the best cake he's ever had. I am baking it now (last weekend he came with me to a congress and so I wasn't there all alone and I want to thank him) and my kitchen smells amazing, can't wait to try it ❤
*Happy Holidays Easter, and Ramadan. John Kanell has made every holiday a blessedly. I am proudly to be his 4 years ago alumnae ❤💙. MANY BLESSINGS Everyone!*
I've cooked 3 of your recipes and they've been amazing! I'm super excited to try this one out, it's my husband's favorite and I wanna surprise him.
Oh my?! This looks amazing. Condensed milk and evaporated milk take me back to my childhood! They were yummy. I’ve so got to make this! Thank you John for sharing this recipe tutorial! 😊
This is one cake that EVERYONE loves! Thank for sharing as always!
I made this cake for Mother's day and it was a big hit! It came out perfect. One person mentioned it would have been better if I used Mexican condensed milk but other then that pure perfection!
I made this cake twice already and it came out delicious I am very glad I chose your video for the recipe as it's simple with clear instructions.Thanks you so much
Was half cup milk enough? Mine didn’t become that liquidy?
Yeah i am making today, my mixture is not liquidy , it’s hard
I'm from Nicaragua and I love this cake so much, it's actually my mom's favorite, I'm thinking about making this for her birthday so thank you so much for the recipe, they're always amazing
I had this over the weekend for a Easter dessert, it was so good, one of my favorites and I am going to try this recipe.
John we love you!! Ahh thank you for the wonderful recipes as always.
Happy Easter to you and your family! 💐🐣❤️
I made this for my Dad’s birthday! Everyone loved it 🩷 authentic and delicious. I was worried it was gonna be too sweet but it’s perfect :)
Your smile is so infectious! I'm making lemon strawberry cupcakes for easter! (lemon cupcakes with strawberry buttercream) thank you for all the delicious recipes!!😋
I just got one from Trader Joe’s a couple of days ago and OMG it’s the best cake I’ve ever tasted it’s super moist, light, creamy and VERY DELICIOUS!! Looking forward to make it at home thank you! 😍
There was something about your personality that stroke me as sassy but in a reaaaally subtle way, which is something I love about this channel, and now that you said you’re half Mexican it all makes perfect beautiful sense!
The best cake I’ve ever made. Thank you so much for the recipe.🎉
I am a new cake maker and this recipe along with the explanation was simply perfect. Thank you so very much!
I have done this recipe so many times. Thanks for your clear explanations
Just made it!!! Came out perfect! Thank you so much for the quick and easy video🤗
I’m from PR cause the heavy cream is a little expensive we use condensed, evaporated and regular fresh milk and the taste of the tres leches is beyond heavenly, had baked few times and garnish with home made italian merengue 🧁.
May I have your recipe
Your descriptions make whatever you cook taste and look better. I live your videos. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Ugh love your cooking videos , thank you for sharing your cooking skills and recipes ❤
Love your recipes and an extra thank you for your tips!! They are truly helpful to me!!!
That looks incredible! Can’t wait for your cookbook!
I recently made this cake based off your first tres leches cake video. My family loved it!
OMG! that's a wonderful surprise, that your mom is from Mexico!!! She must be so proud of you for making this. Me a Mexican in Michigan hasn't attempted to make this delicious cake. I love your recipes and I am sure I will try this. Thanks, better said gracias!
PD. My favorite way to have condensed milk is with pancakes😋😘
Hello carina
Ha! I’ve never thought of condensed milk on pancakes, and I love condensed milk. Thank you! (I’d eat it by the spoonful when I was a kid..) I’ll try it this weekend. Any how to’s I should know? Syrup on top? Honey?
Have you tried Mexican town bakery in Detroit? They have the best tres laches cake. I’m going down this weekend
Can you Please explain why his Mexican mom would be proud of him for making this cake?
@@carlamartinez3631 not sure. It’s a popular cake from Latin America. It’s not even a Mexican cake so idk why they would be proud
Thank you for the bonus information a lot of chefs and bakers don’t share to much of their recipes.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍💐✌️
I was planning to cook Tres Leches and now I have the right recipe!
Hi Dear John… I finally made this tres leches cake since I got tired of buying a slice for $6 dollars. I made it and I can’t believe it was so good I’m impressed I actually made it .Thank you so much for explaining everything here and on your website.
Cool! I’ll definitely try it! I’m exited to bake it for my grand parents, because every time when they come I bake one of your recipes and they always find it so delicious!✨♥️
Hope you love it!!
@@PreppyKitchen im sure i will!
@@EquestrianHaze_Edits did u ever make it? was it good?
Thank you for this recipe! This cake is awesome. Made it for our Bible Study group who slicked it down double time. Everyone LOVED it. I’ve never had a better Tres Leches. And now I can do it myself. pre-ordering your book now.
I tried your recipe, it was the best Tres Leches Cake I had. Thanks for explaining the recipe in details.
I am a chocolate dessert lover and this cake beats them all! WOW! Thank you ❤
This is the most refreshing cake on a hot summer pull right out of the fridge and it just it’s the spot. I eat it on cold winter nights too because it’s that good
easy to follow! i was baking while playing this video side by side and it really helped it was like you were in the kitchen with me!
I made this for a Bake off at work and it won!!! Thank you!!!! 😀
I tried this recipe. Amazingly good and pure. Tres leches should be as simple as possible, as this amazing dude is showing. This cake is so good it doesn't really need anything special.
I made this cake for my boyfriend's birthday and it was perfect! he and his whole family loved it!
I remember one gathering at church, a member made a cinco (5) leches cake. I never had of it, but it was like a dream. The whipped topping made it that much better. 🥲 And this recipe brings the temptation for a tres leches cake and that memory!
Technically this cake he made was a cuatro leches cake (1 evaporated, 2 condensed, 3 whole and the whipping cream was 4)
You make baking soooo much fun. The cake looks scrumptious! Definitely will try it. Thank you for your effort on the video. By the way, congrats on your book!
My all time favorite cake because it's not too sweet,and the fresh whip cream and fruit are so delicious on top the moist,yummy cake😍😍
Thank you for sharing this tres leche cake recipe, John! It’s delicious!
One suggestions for the syrup: you could add 1/4 - 1/2 cup of dark rum. It would give the cake a bit extra flavor and a bit booze. It’s a suggestion from my husband and tested well amongst people who tried my cake.
This cake looks delicious.... I made your Lemon Bars last night, they turned out great!! I impressed myself, lol, I even made the sugar with the lemon zest.. Wow,, never knew I could do that.❤️ Happy Easter to You and your Family.. Much Love from the West Coast 🇨🇦😘❤️
Made this today & it turned out to be good! Thank you for this sumptuous recipe!
My second most favorite kind of cake! Strawberry cake is my #1 ! Thank you so much!

Thank you for sharing this great recipe. I made this for my husband's birthday and he loved it. Love your content by the way :)
This is one of my favorite pastries of my country. We sprinkle cinnamon on the top, the cinnamon adds an extra flavor. Instead of strawberries we put cherries. I love it...
Wow!!! looks so delicious. I can't wait to try to bake this recipe. I'm sure this would be amazing!
My favorite cake ever!!! Sometimes I add Baileys or eggnog to the milks mixture before add it to the cake and it tastes amazing!!!! Warm regards from Costa Rica 🇨🇷
Got to try making it. I’ve always have this dessert in restaurants but have never made it. Thank you for your video 🥰💕
I made this today and it is delicious! The whole family took a slice home! Great recipe! ♥️
My daughter always prefers these tres leches cakes for her birthdays. Speaking of coffee, I’m a person who’s always needed something sweet for breakfast. So once I started drinking coffee I realized I could drink it sweet to keep myself from eating too much sugar or fatty foods in the morning. Thanks for the recipes & tips as always!
