It may not have the most appealing name but Tres Leches, or Three Milk Cake, is a Mexican classic for a reason. Famous throughout Latin America, this cake uses regular milk, condensed milk and milk powder to create a spongey, custardy texture that’s all sorts of amazing.

Ingredients

5 free-range eggs

350g caster sugar

2 tsp vanilla paste

1 cup milk

125g unsalted butter

1¾ cups self-raising flour

½ cup milk powder

1 cup sweetened condensed milk

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 160°C fan-forced (180°C conventional). Combine the eggs, sugar and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat with the whisk attachment on high speed for 5 minutes, until thick and stable.

  2. Meanwhile, combine the milk and butter in a small saucepan and bring gently to a simmer. Fold into the egg mixture very gently, alternating with the sifted flour and milk powder. Spoon into a buttered and floured 1.75L Bundt tin, then bake for 40-45 minutes.

  3. Invert onto a wire rack, then smother with condensed milk. Allow to stand for 15 minutes to absorb the milk.

Cook's notes

As an alternative, make as a tray cake and top with simple frosting and seasonal strawberries.
