2-LAYER TRES LECHES CAKE RECIPE BY TASTY
So, you've been tasked with baking a cake. Think beyond the usual suspects - angel food, carrot cake, even red velvet - and opt for something totally original, like this two-layer tres leches cake. This traditional Mexican dessert is topped with whipped cream and drizzled with a mixture of evaporated, condensed, and coconut milk. It's surprisingly easy, but it looks (and tastes) very impressive.

Steps:
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl.
- In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together with an electric mixer until light, fluffy, and nearly doubled in size, 6-8 minutes.
- Using a spatula, gently fold in the flour mixture until just combined (some streaks of flour are okay).
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Combine the milk and vanilla extract in a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, then gently fold into the batter, mixing just to blend.
- Spray 2 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pans with nonstick cooking spray. Divide the batter between the pans.
- Bake until the cakes are golden brown around the edges and spring back slightly when pressed in the center, about 20-25 minutes.
- While the cakes are baking, combine the evaporated milk, coconut milk and condensed milk in a liquid measuring cup or small bowl and whisk to blend.
- Once the cakes are done, immediately remove the cakes from the pans and invert them onto a wire rack or baking sheet. Cool for 2 minutes. Then, poke the cakes all over with a fork.
- Return the cakes to the pans. Drizzle the condensed milk mixture over the cakes, letting it soak in. Let sit for 15 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar with an electric hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Carefully transfer one of the cakes to a cake stand.
- Spread a layer of the whipped cream over the cake. Place the other cake on top and spread with the remaining whipped cream.
- Decorate with berries, if desired.
- Slice and serve.
- Enjoy!

- Set up 3 mixing bowls: 1 medium and 2 large bowls. In the medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1/4 tsp salt. Set aside.
- In a large measuring cup with a pouring lip, stir together the evaporated milk, the sweetened condensed milk and 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream.
- Place one of the layers, flat side down, on a cake platter. Using a fork, poke the top all around, going all the way to the edges and poke through the depth of the cake. Use a spoon to pour on half of the 3-milk syrup. Let cake stand and absorb the syrup while you beat the frosting (see instructions below).
- For best results with whipping cream, freeze your mixing bowl and egg beaters or whisk attachment for 15 minutes. Make sure your whipping cream is very cold.
