Super Moist Powdered Milk Sheet Cake (Tres Leches Cake) Recipe.
Cake:
- Grease with butter an 8×12 inch (20x30cm) rectangular cake pan. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites on medium-high speed for about 4 minutes, gradually adding the sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the yolks, one at a time, mixing until well combined.
- Sift half of the flour and the baking powder over the mixture. Gently fold with a spatula, taking care not to deflate the egg whites.
- Add half of the milk and stir gently.
- Repeat the process with the remaining flour and milk. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to make sure that all the ingredients are well mixed.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top. Make sure to fill only 2/3 of the pan to prevent overflowing.
- Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
Milk Bath:
- Combine the powdered milk and water in a jug. Stir until completely dissolved.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk and heavy cream. Stir until well combined.
- With the cake still hot, use a fork to poke holes all over the cake.
- Slowly pour the milk mixture evenly over the cake. Set aside.
Topping:
- In a medium bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, and powdered milk. Stir until well combined.
- Spread the mixture evenly over the cake and sift powdered milk on top.
– Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
– Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
