Pastel de Tres Leches (Cake Of Three Milks)

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350° and grease and flour an 8x11 inch baking pan.

Step 2: Sift the flour and baking powder into a large mixing bowl. In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar together with a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.

Step 3: Reduce the mixer speed to medium-low and add the eggs one at a time, allowing each one to get incorporated before adding the next. Finally add the vanilla and continue beating until foamy.

Step 4: Remove the bowl from the mixer and fold in the sifted flour until it is well incorporated.

Step 5: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake 30 minutes, or until done. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.

Step 6: Pierce the cake all over with a fork, toothpick or skewer. Mix the whole, sweetened condensed, and evaporated milk together and pour the mixture over the whole cake.

Step 7: Refrigerate the cake for anywhere from 2 to 8 hours, or until the liquid is completely absorbed and cake is well chilled.

Step 8: Beat the cream, sugar and vanilla together, until the cream holds soft peaks. Frost the cake with the whipped cream and serve.

Step 9: Leftovers should be refrigerated!
