Irresistible Strawberry Tres Leches Cake

A moist and creamy strawberry-infused tres leches cake topped with fresh strawberries and whipped cream.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced (for topping)
  • 1 cup whipped cream

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla.
  4. Alternately add flour mixture and whole milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with flour. Mix until just combined.
  5. Pour batter into prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes.
  6. In a blender, combine sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, heavy cream, and strawberry puree. Blend until smooth.
  7. Poke holes all over the cake with a fork. Slowly pour the milk mixture over the cake, allowing it to absorb. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  8. Before serving, top with whipped cream and sliced strawberries.
