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

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. Cream together the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before poking holes all over the top with a fork.
  9. Prepare the tres leches mixture by whisking together the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and heavy cream. Set aside.
  10. Slowly pour the tres leches mixture evenly over the cooled cake, ensuring to saturate the entire surface.
  11. Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  12. 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.
  13. Remove the cake from the refrigerator. Frost the top with whipped cream and arrange the cinnamon sugar churros over the whipped cream.
  14. Dust with extra cinnamon. Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!

Notes

For a lighter version, opt for sugar substitutes like stevia or monk fruit.
