Fresh berries or sliced fruit of your choice
Instructions:
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
Prepare Sponge Cake: In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. In a separate mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks with 3/4 cup of granulated sugar until pale and fluffy. Stir in the whole milk and vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg yolk mixture, mixing until smooth.
Whip Egg Whites: In another clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
Fold and Bake: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Make Tres Leches Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and heavy cream until well combined.
Soak Cake: Once the sponge cake is baked and still warm, use a fork to poke holes all over the surface of the cake. Slowly pour the Tres Leches mixture over the cake, making sure to soak it evenly. Allow the cake to cool completely and absorb the milk mixture.
Prepare Whipped Cream: In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Assemble: Spread the whipped cream evenly over the top of the soaked cake. Garnish with fresh berries or sliced fruit of your choice.
Chill and Serve: Cover the Tres Leches Delight and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to fully absorb the milk mixture. Slice and serve chilled, savoring each blissful bite!
