1 Step 1: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F and adjust rack to the middle position. Grease and flour a 13-by-9 inch pan and set aside.2 Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.3 Step 3: Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs one at a time on medium speed for about 45–60 seconds.4 Step 4: Gradually add the sugar in a light stream, beating until fully incorporated; the mixture will be fluffy and light yellow.5 Step 5: Reduce the mixer speed to low and slowly add the melted butter a little at a time, then the vanilla, keeping the mixer running.6 Step 6: Add the flour mixture in batches, gently folding it in with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix.7 Step 7: Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and spread evenly with a rubber spatula. Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the cake is light golden or a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.8 Step 8: Remove the cake and let it cool completely on a wire rack, then poke holes all over the top with a toothpick, skewer, or fork.9 Step 9: In a saucepan, whisk together the condensed milk, evaporated milk, cream, vanilla, and rum; warm over low heat until well combined, then remove from heat.10 Step 10: Once the cake is cool, slowly pour the milk mixture over it, covering the entire surface. Let it absorb before adding more; you may not need all of the mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.11 Step 11: In a bowl, beat the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes.12 Step 12: Spread the whipped cream over the cake, then refrigerate until ready to serve. For best results, let it chill overnight so the cake soaks up the milk mixture; add fruit garnish just before serving. To make fruit shiny, glaze it with a mixture of apricot preserves and water using a kitchen brush.getsaucepan.com/r/d6930ed0-a693-4c73-8206-94ec482470bf · Original: https://www.mexicoinmykitchen.com/tres-leches-cake/
