Tres leches cake | Eggless Tres Leches cake recipe | Best Milk cake |  Milk cake | Mexican cake | Best Eggless Tres Leches Cake is simply moist, best vanilla cake without butter, eggs, vinegar, lemon juice . Rich and tasty Tres Leches Cake is made with spongy vanilla cake soaked in 3 types of milk (evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream) and frosted with whipped cream frosting. Bakery style  Mexican cake is one of the quickest and can be made even by a beginner without any hassle. The 7-inch cake is perfect for any small events/ birthday party/ special occasion

Tres Leches cake

Tres leches cake is a sponge cake soaked in three kinds of milk: evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream. Tres leches came is popular in Central, North and South America, Caribbean, canary islands, Albania, North Macedonia, turkey, and some other parts of Europe. In Puerto Rica tres leches cake is served with whipped cream frosting. In some other countries, it is topped with caramel.

Can I use wheat flour instead of all-purpose/flour?

For a light and soft cake, all-purpose-flour is preferred. Using wheat flour might result in dense cake and soaking might be perfect. If you prefer to use wheat flour chose a fine ground flour and add an extra 2 or 3  tbsp of water.  Use a generous amount of milk mixture to make it moist.

Can I use butter instead of oil?

Yes, oil can be substituted with melted unsalted butter but as I told in my Eggless white forest cake and Eggless chocolate cake oil makes the moist cake. We have to refrigerate the cake for at least 1 day for milk to soak well and keep it refrigerated till you finish the cake so use flavorless oil for the best tres leches cake.

For Tres leches cake  I make a chocolate cake and soak it in milk? 

Traditionally sponge vanilla cake is used but if you prefer chocolate flavor try my eggless chocolate cake recipe and soak in milk.  Instead of two 6 inch pan, you use one 7 inch pan.

Can I double the recipe and make two layers of Tres leches cake?

Yes, You can double the recipe and prepare cakes in two 7 inch springform pan but soak both layers separately in milk mixture refrigerate. After both layers are well soaked assemble the cake. 

How can I adopt the recipe for other cake pans?

I have used a 7-inch cake pan. You can use the same proportion and split in two 6 inch pan. Double the recipe for 9-inch tres leches cake. 

Do I need a cheesecake pan/springform pan for Tres leches cake?

Cheesecake pan is optional for Tres leches cake but after soaking the cake in milk mixture it easy to unmold the cake from springform. If you are using the regular cake pan use a cling wrap before soaking the milk mixture for easy unmolding.

Notes

  1. The amount of frosting differs based on the way you frost the cake. If required make one more batch of frosting
  2. If preferred you can make Tres leches cake for a two-layer cake. Make milk glaze for two layers separately after milk glaze is well absorbed  add the frosting
  3. The same measurement can be baked in two 6 inch cake pan
  4. I have used a Cheesecake pan so it was easy for Tres leches cake. If you are using a regular cake pan add a layer of cling wrap before adding the milk glaze for easy unmolding of the cake after the glaze
  5. You can double the ingredient measurement for a 9-inch cake
  6. I have used instant vanilla pudding mix hence I added a little vanilla extract but if you are using plain instant pudding mix-use 1 tsp of vanilla extract
  7. You can add some cherries or strawberries on top of the cake
  8. Chocolate writing can be done on the chill cake
  9. I preferred piping my frosting so added pudding mix. You can skip if you prefer simple frosting
  10. Always use chill heavy cream for whipping. Avoid room temperature heavy whipping cream
  11. Add frosting only after the milk glaze is well soaked on the cake
  12. For rich milk, glaze use heavy cream but If preferred you can use whole fat milk like my Tres leches cake
  13. Overnight refrigerating is necessary for the milk glaze to well absorb on the cake if you try to frost the cake within a few hours after adding milk glaze cake might drip down the milk while cutting the cake
