Three Milk Cake

Have you tried a cake with a milky taste that melts in your mouth! The original name of this cake "Tres leches" is translated from Spanish - Three milks. Although according to our ideas it is more of a pie than a cake, but it can, if desired, be decorated as a cake. The whole highlight of the cake is that it will be soaked in milk filling for several hours. The taste is a moist sponge cake with a milky taste, which can be set off by any other, adding berries or fruits to the cream, or maybe chocolate – who likes what!

Step 1:
Ingredients.
Step 2:
Preparing a sponge cake. To begin with, we heat the milk, to which we add butter. Now we wait for the butter to melt and remove it from the stove.
Step 3:
Separately, beat the eggs into a fluffy foam, then gradually add sugar, beat for at least 5 minutes.
Step 4:
Continuing to beat, pour in the milk-butter mixture.
Step 5:
Then add the sifted flour, salt, baking powder, whisk until smooth.
Step 6:
The dough turns out to be quite thick and lush.
Step 7:
Heat the oven to 180 degrees. Lubricate the baking dish (I have a shape with a diameter of 24 cm), pour the dough and bake for 40-50 minutes, depending on your oven. We check the readiness of the biscuit with a skewer, the end of a knife or a toothpick.
Step 8:
Preparing the filling. It's very simple - we mix three types of milk with a whisk: condensed, concentrated and cream. In other formulations of this condensed milk recipe, 350 ml is indicated, that is, the whole jar, but for me it would turn out to be sickly sweet, so I indicated half of the jar in the amount.
Step 9:
When the biscuit cools down a little, we find a dish whose size will be slightly wider than the biscuit itself. We put a biscuit in it, the surface of which is well pierced with a fork.
Step 10:
Then pour the entire filling onto the biscuit, so that it floats completely in it and is well soaked. We put it in the refrigerator overnight, the biscuit will be soaked for at least 5 hours.
Step 11:
Soaked sponge cake, take it out of the mold, put it on a dish. Prepare the cream: whisk sour cream or cream with sugar. We decorate the cake with cream and berries. The cake consistency is dense, and at the same time porous and juicy, with a milky-creamy taste.
