Tres Leches Cake

Tres Leches cake – Divine is the word. One of the best cakes I ever had. Thanks to my co- sis for introducing me to such a delicious cake. Tres Leches is a Mexican cake with three milks (condensed milk, evaporated milk and heavy cream). Well, this was told by my co – sis. We visited their home, and she ordered this cake for us from Safeway. That night hubby and I skipped dinner and had this cake instead 😉 After our vacation, I searched for this recipe in many blogs and altered the recipe to suit our tastes. Baked this cake for Hubby’s birthday.

Tres Leches Cake:

Preparation Time : 45 mins | Cooking Time : 1 hour | Serves : 10

Recipe Category: Dessert

Ingredients:

All-purpose Flour – 1 cup

Baking Powder – 1 tsp + 1/2 tsp

Salt – 1/4 tsp

Eggs – 5 whole

Sugar – 1 cup

Vanilla- 1 tsp

Milk – 1/3 cup

Evaporated Milk – 1 can

Sweetened, Condensed Milk – 1 can

Heavy Cream – 1/4 cup

FOR THE ICING:

Heavy Cream, For Whipping – 1 pint

Sugar – 3 Tablespoons

Method:

• Add all purpose flour, baking powder and salt to a mixing bowl and whisk well
• Separate 5 eggs – put all the Yolk in one bowl and whites in the other
• Add 1/2 cup sugar to the yolk and beat well with electric mixer, in high speed. Beat till it becomes pale yellow and approx. doubled in quantity. It took 4-5 min for me. Add milk and vanilla extract to the pale yellow mixture

• Gently add the flour to this mixture. Set the electric mixer in low speed and whisk well

• In a separate bowl, beat the whites in high speed till they become like a soft foam. Add remaining 1/2 cup sugar and keep it aside

• Gently mix this to flour yolk batter with the mixer in lowest setting

• Pour the batter to the greased cake pan and bake it at 350 f for 30-35 min, till the cake is baked (a toothpick inserted inside should come out clean). Let it cool

• Add condensed milk, evaporated Milk and heavy cream in a jar and whisk well.

• After the cake is cooled completely, poke it gently using fork all over and pour the milk mixture gently everywhere including the sides in batches (say about 1/4 cup at a time, let it absorb well and then add another 1/4 cup)

• Cover it with cling wrap and set aside to absorb. I kept it overnight.

• Frosting – Nextday add heavy whipping cream to a bowl. Whisk well with the electric mixer in high speed till the cream becomes soft. Continuously mix for speeding up the process. Add sugar and mix well

• Apply the frosting all over the cake and delicious tres leches cake is ready to taste. I topped it with some fresh strawberries

Cantaloupe Smoothie

Ever since childhood, summers call for muskmelon juice. I stil remember those days, when every summer we have muskmelon juice at least once a week. While searching for muskmelon in grocery store, I saw cantaloupe and honey dew. Though both are new to me, I bought cantaloupe. Cantaloupe was sweeter than muskmelon, we loved to eat that as a fruit but tried smoothie and it turned to be flavorful.

Cantaloupe Smoothie:

Preparation Time : 10 mins | Serves : 3

Recipe Category: Beverage

Ingredients:

Cantaloupe – 1 cup

Honey – 1 tbsp

Milk – 1/2 cup

Cinnamon Powder – 1/4 tsp (optional)

Method:

• Cut the fruit into two halves and  scoop out the seeds  and discard. Then cut the fruit into small cubes

• Transfer to the juicer and add honey,cinnamon and milk. Blend to Smoothie consistency

 

My Notes:

• Sugar / Maple syrup or any sweetener can be added instead of honey
• Adding milk is optional. You can even prepare juice without milk
