Time 2h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
6 eggs, separated
½ cup white sugar, divided
1 cup self-rising flour
1 lime, zested
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon amaretto liqueur
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 (4 ounce) container sliced peaches, drained
1 teaspoon grated lime zest

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until foamy. Gradually add 1/4 cup sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Clean beaters.
  • Beat egg yolks in a separate bowl until creamy. Add remaining 1/4 cup sugar and continue beating until pale yellow. Fold egg yolks into egg white mixture using a spatula. Sift in flour and carefully fold into the batter; mix in zest of 1 lime. Pour batter into the prepared springform pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until edges pull away from the sides of the pan, about 30 minutes. Turn off oven but keep cake in the closed oven for an additional 20 minutes.
  • Prepare the '3 milks' while cake is resting in the oven. Combine condensed milk, evaporated milk, 1 cup heavy cream, and amaretto liqueur in a blender; blend until well combined.
  • Remove the cake from the springform pan and and place on a serving plate. Pierce the cake several times across the top with a fork. Pour the '3 milks' mixture over the cake. Refrigerate cake until cool and milk mixture has soaked in, about 1 hour.
  • Beat 1 cup heavy cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Garnish the top of the cake with whipped cream, peach slices, and 1 teaspoon lime zest.

PASTEL DE TRES LECHES THREE MILK CAKE

Categories     dessert

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 18

10 eggs, kept at room temperature for 1/2 hour
1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Confectioners' sugar
2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
2 cups chopped strawberries or Guyaba or other fruit, in 1/2-inch pieces
3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup crema or half-and-half
1 cup evaporated milk
2 tablespoons rum, brandy, mezcal, or other liquor of your choice
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
2 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Oil a jellyroll baking pan and line it with waxed paper oiled on both sides. Separate the yolks and whites in 2 bowls. Sift the flour and baking powder together.
  • Beat the yolks until light and lemon colored, about 20 minutes. The consistency should be very thick, and when you lift the beaters, the mixture should fall in one solid mass, known as the "ribbon stage". Add 1/2 cup of the sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time. Add the vanilla and beat 3 minutes more.
  • Whip the egg whites until soft peaks form. Add the remaining 1/2 cup sugar slowly until it makes a meringue. Add the whites to the yolks one-third at a time and fold in with a rubber spatula. Add the flour all at once and fold in.
  • Spread the batter in the pan and bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until the cake comes away from the sides of the pan. Let it rest for 5 minutes, then remove it from the pan and place on a clean tea towel that has been dusted with confectioners' sugar. Remove the waxed paper by rubbing the top of the paper with a dry cloth all over the surface and peeling off. Cover the cake with another tea towel and roll up the cake lengthwise in the towels, like a jellyroll, while still warm.
  • For the filling: Whip the cream and vanilla until soft peaks form. Add the confectioners' sugar. Add the fruit to the whipped cream and fold in.
  • For the soaking liquid: Mix the milks with a whisk. Add the liquor.
  • For the frosting: In a mixing bowl, beat the butter until soft and fluffy, about 10 minutes. Add the vanilla and mix for 2 minutes. Slowly add the confectioners' sugar until it is well incorporated. Add the milk.
  • To assemble the cake: Unroll the cake and remove the tea towel from the top layer. Spread the whipped cream mixture on the cake and, using the bottom as leverage, roll it up lengthwise. Transfer the cake to a serving tray seam side down. Make holes in the cake with a skewer and drizzle the soaking liquid, slowly, letting it absorb bit by bit. Cover the cake with the frosting.

PASTEL DE TRES LECHES (THREE MILKS CAKE)



Pastel De Tres Leches (Three Milks Cake) image

I love this recipe because it's easy and it's not too sweet like many recipes can be. This is a favorite in Latin America. It's traditionally served with fresh fruit and Italian Meringue frosting, but you can also top it with whipped cream.

Provided by MarielC

Categories     Dessert

Time 40m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled, plus some more
butter, for greasing the pan (1 stick)
6 large eggs, separated
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1 cup flour
2 1/2 cups milk
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F Grease a 9-by-13-inch glass baking pan with butter. In an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine egg whites, baking soda, and salt. Beat until soft peaks form. Do not overbeat.
  • Add egg yolks to the egg white mixture. Beat just until completely combined. With the mixer running on low speed, slowly add the sugar until combined. Remove the bowl from the mixer. Fold in the melted butter by hand using a rubber spatula or hand whisk.
  • Sift 1/4 cup flour on top of the cake mixture. Fold in to combine. Sift and fold in remaining flour 1/4 cup at a time. Don't overfold or you will lose volume. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until cake is golden and a cake tester inserted into the middle comes out clean, about 20 to 25 minutes.
  • While the cake is baking mix together the milk, evaporated milk, condensed milk and vanilla.
  • When the cake is done remove it from oven and place the pan on a wire rack. Quickly poke some small holes all over the cake using a cake tester or a toothpick.
  • Pour the milk mixture over the hot cake. It should take about 5 minutes for all the milk to absorb. Let the cake stand in the pan until cool. Cover the cake with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours but preferably overnight.
  • When ready to serve frost the cake with either Italian Meringue frosting or whipped cream. Serve with fresh fruit if desired.
