    FOR AN AUTHENTIC TRES LECHES CAKE USE THIS RECIPE- ua-cam.com/video/VSaaNzaroGA/v-deo.html
    The 1.0 recipe is for those that don't like the over soaked tres leches cake. It's a firm texture.

      Hi! In the video you say 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder but in the description box it says 1 1/2 tablespoons of baking powder. I wanted to know which measurement should I use? Also, thank you for this amazing recipe! It looks spectacular😋😋

    BAKING TIP: If you don't have cake flour take a level cup of all purpose flour, remove 2 tablespoons of that flour from the cup and then add two tablespoons of cornstarch to replace the flour you took out. Sift it 3-5 times to make it fluffy and airy!

    I've been making this for the last 3 years, I’ve made it around 20 times so far, the first time I made it, it turned out prefect although From the 20 times I’ve made it not all of them came out perfect. Some of them came out dense and none of the milk mixture would absorb, I got frustrated because I knew there wasn’t anything wrong with the recipe because the first 8-10 times I made it it came out perfect. Now I made it again last night after about 8 months and it came out perfect once again. From what I detected my mistake was with folding the egg whites into the batter you have to be very careful during the process, if you over mix it and too much of the air comes out of the egg whites then it will come out dense, and also make sure you mix it evenly, there shouldn’t be any streaks of batter without the egg whites or else that spot in the cake will be de dense and won’t absorb the milk. So if you try this recipe once and it doesn’t work out then try it again!! Because this is a great recipe (hence why I’ve made it 20 time 😂)

    I made this for my boyfriends birthday the other day. Mind you, I've never made a cake before. This was my first time. I was nervous and I had been watching this for the past week just to get familiar with it. Honestly my first attempt was pretty bad, my cake shrunk. It was probably because the temperature on the oven was too high, and the batter was too runny, and I didn't get the air bubbles out... My best advice? To anyone having a hard time, listen when she says if its too runny to add more flour and everything else lol. I did use the Swans Down cake flour. But I am a beginner when it comes to baking.
    My second attempt was much better. The cake came out great. I paid a little more attention and took more time with it. So patience is important. Just don't rush, follow the steps carefully. My blending of the eggwhites took more than 6 minutes, I'll say it took me about 10 minutes or so. But she does a great job of clarifying everything. Everyone enjoyed the final product. There was no left overs :( But I was so happy that everyone loved it. I was almost worried I would have to go buy a cake from the store. Annnnd I actually put more strawberries in mine because I looooove strawberries. :)
    This is a fantastic recipe. I will make it a few more times throughout this year just to get more confident with it. Thank you so much for sharing this with us @Views on the road

      @@irenegonzalez1144 baking is a science. The ratio of ingredients has to be correct. The temperature has to be accurate (so preheat that oven if baking!) Add the dry ingredients little by little to the wet, not the other way around. Make sure to use a non-plastic bowl for beating the egg whites, and make darned sure not one bit of yolk gets in the whites. I could go on and on. Don't give up. Read a few baking hints on Google. Don't give up! Homemade baked goods are fantastic - no weird chemical taste, no cheapy ingredients, and your friends and family will be so appreciative!

    My boyfriend loves tres leches cake so I went on youtube and stumbled across your recipe and I was so excited to try it. We finally got a new oven since our other one wasn't working and I was like well what better time than now. I bought all my ingredients and my first time making it (not gonna lie was terrible) the batter was too runny and I think it might've been because the eggs that I used were huge and I added more flour to even it out but it didn't work. I was pretty bummed out because my boyfriend was coming over soon so ended up throwing it away and starting over. My second time was so much better. The cake still shrunk but not nearly as bad. It is SO important to listen to everything that she has to say and especially when it comes to having patience. My cake had trouble absorbing all the liquid but everyone loved it. I wish I had a picture to show you guys but it was gone quickly. For anyone wanting to make it don't feel discouraged and take your time!
    Lastly, I just wanna give a huge thanks to Stephanie for all the hard work she puts in. Sometimes making Mexican dishes can be very tedious. I'm looking forward to trying your new tres leches recipe because my family LOVES a fluffy tres leches and also many of the other recipes you have on your channel. Thank you for encouraging me to get back in the kitchen and for being so lovely!

We were sitting on the beach eating oysters at a small oyster stand, where they were freshly gathered out of the water. There was a family there having a birthday party and had a tres leches cake. They brought all three of us a piece of this cake and it was the absolute best ever!

    Love your videos. You explain things like my aunts did growing up. I love it!
    Mixing tip - Always beat your egg whites first and if using a hand mixer try a glass bowl as the metal with interact with the whites. It will take less time. Ignore that if you use a stand mixer because they are stronger in beating. Egg whites also get beat first so everything stays clean any egg yolk or oil will cause them to take a long time and/or not stiffen at all. Also, you can go directly to beat the yolks and won't have to wash the beaters in-between.

    I love this recipe. I think I’ve made it at least ten times. I always learn more as I make it. It use to take me so long to make the peeks with the egg whites. I realized what I was doing wrong. I was getting just a little bit yolk in the whites and that wouldn’t let me make the peeks I needed. Just making that change and being careful when separating them. I MADE THE PEEKS IN 5 MINUTES!!!!!! I just wanted to share this in case this is happening to someone. I remember taking 20 + minutes making the peeks lol cake still tasted good.

The cake will absorb all the milk and you will not have to poke holes. No worries that a part of the cake has more milk than others. I have been doing it this way for years. It works great.

    I have had tres leches cake and this looks like it's totally doable...but I just wanted you to know how impressed I am with the way you handled your son. He was polite when he came in (a testament to the way you talk to him), but when you reminded him you were recording, he quieted right away until you invited him to come and say hi to us. You weren't short or snappish or critical in any way and his smiles and willingness to cooperate are obviously the product of this being the main way you deal with him. Good parenting is a product of good parenting, so your mother deserves credit as well. Enjoy every moment with that little boy...you and he both deserve it.

    So I made this cake yesterday and followed the recipe to the T, it did come out exactly like the one in the video. The cake bread is really good, bouncy and moist. But in my opinion the only thing missing from this recipe is more syrup. We love our 3 leches cake to be extra syrupy, now don't get me wrong the edges of this cake are the best slices because they are drenched in sauce it's just the middle that is dry. So when making this cake if u like the cake to be all @ syrupy then double the syrup recipe. Other than that it is really good and I will be making again with more syrup

    Tre leches is the best. If you are in a pinch, I found that a pound cake box mix works perfect for tres leches. Also, for my syrup mixture along with the extra vanilla I add about a quarter cup of vanilla rum. It is a huge hit. Great job girl. Keep doing what you are doing.

  • @OOceaneyess
    @OOceaneyess 3 роки тому +12

    Looks yummy! I’ve been making TL cakes for years at my bakery/ coffee house. A fav of my customers! I instead use 2 spring form pans. That way you will have slightly mashed and lightly sweetened fresh strawberries ( or whatever fruit you use) in the center of each slice as well as on top. I also Rotate back and forth between evaporated milk and canned coconut milk. Best to cover with foil after you’ve forked and poured your 3 milks and made sure they are evenly absorbed throughout the cake for at least a full day and night. Also I use powdered sugar with heavy whipping cream instead of granulated sugar. Great flavor profile as it blends with the heavy whipping cream better. Just like most other bakeries make whipped cream and coffee houses like mine are use in their whipped cream dispensers to top coffee drinks. DELICIOUS!
    This cake looks delish too!

    I made this for a birthday and it was one of the best cakes I have ever eaten. Thanks Mamma! I did use a stand mixer since I have arthritis, all that hand mixing is a killer. Also the cake got super puffy in the oven. It rose over an inch above the top of the pan and then fell quite a bit as it cooled, so it ended up with a sunken middle and raised edges. I’m guessing this might be because I’m at a high altitude in the Rocky Mountains of Montana? But it still tasted fantastic and the texture was great!
