Tres Leche Cake - Deepthi Chitrapu's recipe
Ingredients: for one pack of cake mix
1 Cake mix (I bought Duncan Hines French Vanilla , Yellow cake also tastes gud i guess )
Sweetened condensed milk - 8 ounce
Heavy Whipping cream or cool whip
normal milk(2% or any regular milk or evaportaed milk ) 1 cup
Procedure
BAKE the cake as per instructions on the box. Cool the cake
MIX some whipping cream may be 2 scoops or lil less if u r particular, Sweetend condensed milk , 1 cup milk in a bowl.
POUR the milk on the cooled cake and let it stay atleast 4-5 hrs or over night , the more the milk is soaked in the taste the cake is..
TOP once the cake is set , cover it with some cool whip or whipping cream made from heavy cream ( I whipped teh cream using heavy cream myself) , top it up with some strawberries and chopped/pwderd almonds or any other dry nuts.. u can use ur imagination here...
Tips:
I baked the cake in corningware bowl and moved it to Pyrex but its always better to make TRESLECHES cake in a closed pan.. i mean the once u use to sere.. cuz the cake shd cover the whole bowl so that when u pour in the milks mixtures it is soaked properly on all the sides.
U can add some vanilla flavor to the topping if u want :)
Google for more deco ideas :) the basic cake recipe is the same..
I followed pretty much everything in the above recipe..
Just substituted Evaporated Milk for whipping cream
And Whole milk for 2% anthey
Inka I used cool whip instead of home made icing.
Chaala easy, less time consuming and taste super!!!
