Tres Leche Cake

Tres Leche Cake is a milky, rich and moist cake, that originates from Mexico. I had never heard about this type of cake before, so when Alton Brown on his show Good Eats created this cake, I was intrigued and of course I had to try out the cake for myself. I found the recipe on Foodnetworks home page and I was ready to get baking.

The base of the cake is a simple white cake. When I make these types of cakes I always make sure to mix butter and sugar until fluffy, before adding further ingrediens. Then, one at a time I add the eggs. When that is well mixed, I fold in the dry ingrediens. This way you get a fluffy and perfect cake every time.

When the cake is baked, you have to let it cool for around half an hour. Then either with a fork or a skewer poke holes all over the cake. When the cake is completely cold pour over the glaze. After the cake has been in the fridge overnight all of the glaze absorbed. The glaze gets perfectly absorbed in the white cake creating a super moist and delicious cake.
I served the cake topped with whipped cream and a chilled glass of sweet white wine!
