Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 5 Large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 cup Whole Milk
- 12 ounces Evaporated Milk
- 14 ounces Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 1 1/2 cups Heavy Cream, for topping
- 1/4 cup Powdered Sugar, for topping
- 1/2 cup Cinnamon Sugar for churros
- 12 Churros
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- Cream together the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before poking holes all over the top with a fork.
- Prepare the tres leches mixture by whisking together the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and heavy cream. Set aside.
- Slowly pour the tres leches mixture evenly over the cooled cake, ensuring to saturate the entire surface.
- Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- For the churros, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Dip each churro into the melted butter, then dredge in cinnamon sugar.
- Remove the cake from the refrigerator. Frost the top with whipped cream and arrange the cinnamon sugar churros over the whipped cream.
- Dust with extra cinnamon. Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
Notes
For a lighter version, opt for sugar substitutes like stevia or monk fruit.
