Three Milk Cake

Have you tried a cake with a milky taste that melts in your mouth! The original name of this cake "Tres leches" is translated from Spanish - Three milks. Although according to our ideas it is more of a pie than a cake, but it can, if desired, be decorated as a cake. The whole highlight of the cake is that it will be soaked in milk filling for several hours. The taste is a moist sponge cake with a milky taste, which can be set off by any other, adding berries or fruits to the cream, or maybe chocolate – who likes what!

    Step 7.

    Heat the oven to 180 degrees. Lubricate the baking dish (I have a shape with a diameter of 24 cm), pour the dough and bake for 40-50 minutes, depending on your oven. We check the readiness of the biscuit with a skewer, the end of a knife or a toothpick.

    Step 8.

    Preparing the filling. It's very simple - we mix three types of milk with a whisk: condensed, concentrated and cream. In other formulations of this condensed milk recipe, 350 ml is indicated, that is, the whole jar, but for me it would turn out to be sickly sweet, so I indicated half of the jar in the amount.

    Step 9.

    When the biscuit cools down a little, we find a dish whose size will be slightly wider than the biscuit itself. We put a biscuit in it, the surface of which is well pierced with a fork.
