Tres leches cake, the three milk cake, is a

moist cake soaked in a 3 milk syrup and
topped with light and airy whipped cream.
Tres leches is believed to be an authentic
Mexican cake, today I am showing you how
to make a caramel tres leches layer cake or
what is also know as Trilece.

Caramel tres leches is the Turkish take on

the Mexican Tres leches, sponge cake
soaked in milk syrup topped with fluffy
whipped cream and another layer of buttery
caramel. This cake is a crowd pleaser and
the first to fly off in parties much like flan
cake and tiramisu.

leches cake:

Here we have 4 sets of ingredients, first set

is for making the sponge cake. Some
people like making tres leches using a
buttery pound cake, I like the spong cake
more in tres leches.

Second set is the milk syrup or the soaking

liquids and this usually is a combination of
evaporated milk, condensed milk and heavy
cream. Third set is for the fluffy whipped
cream layer and the last set of ingredients

1. In the bowl of your mixer, add eggs and

vanilla extract and beat until foamy.

2. Gradually add sugar while beating the

mixture until it triples in size and
becomes so airy and pale yellow. To
make sure you've reached the right
consistency, take out your whisk and
draw an S shape on the surface. If it
stayed for 10 seconds then you are
good but if it sunk then you need to
beat more.

3. In a small bowl mix together flour and

baking powder.

4. Sift the flour mixture over the egg

mixture in 3 batches mixing with a
rubber spatula in between.

1. Make the whipped cream layer by

combining the ingredients and beating
until a stiff peak forms. Refrigerate until
the cake has cooled completely.

2. Make the caramel by first melting the

sugar over medium heat until it reach
an amber color like shown above.
Make sure not to burn it or it will taste
bitter.

3. Reduce heat and add butter stirring

quickly. You'll notice that the mixture
will bubble as you mix in the butter.

4. Gradually pour the heavy cream over

while stirring everything well. You'll
notice that the mixture will bubble and
rise in the pan, it might also forms
clumps. Do not worry keep stirring and
it will melt and be smooth again. Take it
off heat and pour into a heat proof
measuring cup to cool down. It will
thicken as it cools down.

5. Spread the cold whipped cream over

the cooled cake and level the surface.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

6. Pour the caramel sauce over and tilt

the pan to cover the cake evenly. Make
sure that your caramel has completely
cooled or else the layers will be mixed
up. Make some lines with whipped
cream and using a toothpick cross
those lines to make this famous look.

Important tips:
Some people like making Trilece with
pound cake base rather than making it
with sponge cake. If you like it more
buttery then go ahead and make it with
pound cake.

Make sure the eggs are room

temperature before you start. If for any
case you forgot them place your eggs
in a bowl of warm water until they
reach room temperature.

This sponge cake needs a lot of

beating for eggs and sugar, we are
talking in the range of 8 to 10 minutes
with a strong stand mixer.When using
egg beaters it is going to take longer.

If you are not sure that you've reached

the right consistency for the egg and
sugar mixture take the beaters off and
make an "S" shape with the batter
dripping from the beaters. If the shape
sunk within 10 seconds then you need
to beat more, otherwise you are good.

Add the flour in batches sifting it over

the egg mixture. Mix with a spatula in a
circular motion, making sure that there
is no flour pockets at the bottom of the
mixing bowl.

Because the topping is a sweet

caramel sauce we make a less sugary
milk syrup. Most people just use milk
sweetened with a couple of
tablespoons of sugar. In this recipe and
to keep the theme of the three milk
rolling, I used only 1/4 cup of
sweetened condensed milk. If you think
this is going to be too sugary for you
feel free to scale back to two
tablespoons.

When making the caramel sauce be

very cautious and use a deep
saucepan as caramel tends to splatter.
Use room temperature butter to reduce
the shock a bit. Caramel will bubble so
do not worry and keep stirring even if
clumps form, it will melt eventually.
