    Honestly , I am not really a baker. I much prefer home made desserts but many have stopped making home made as that generation are older. So I think I am going to learn to make my favourite deserts. Someone said her fav is Tres leche and I said , no I never had it.
    You’re a magician with cake batter , frosting and an oven! Sooooo , I am saving your recipe to give it a try at Easter. Let’s see if I can WOW my friend ….😊. I don’t like too sweet so I will do exactly what you did.

    Aya, even though I’m Latina I’ve never cared for tres leches cake as I find it too sweet even without the meringue some use to top it (team whipped cream all the way for me). I am very curious to try to your milk syrup instead. I always feel like I can trust your recipes won’t be too sweet (but I like that you also use enough sugar, because some channels I like go too far in the other direction 😅).
    I like tres leches with tea in the soaking liquid for a variation that introduces some nice bitterness, too.

    • @PastryLivingwithAya
      @PastryLivingwithAya  Год назад +8

      Thank you for noticing the things I've tried to make my recipes😊 I try not to cut off sugar too much since it does such an important role to make a fine texture.
      I hope you'll like it!🙏💫

      @sfr2107 Год назад +1

      After having the whipped cream version, I haven't been able to enjoy meringue versions at all 😅 The tea sounds intriguing, what type if tea have you tried? Are you going for a light steep or does it need to be on the stronger side to cut through the dairy?

Thank you so much for sharing how to make this especially from scratch, now I can make it at home. Have you ever heard of a sponge cake soaked in 7-up and mixed with fruit cocktail? I had it many decades ago in Hawaii and cannot trace back that cake anymore. It is a freezer cake. Thank you!

    • @PastryLivingwithAya
      @PastryLivingwithAya  10 месяцев назад

      Hello! That's fine if it's not going to be at room temperature for too long since the whipped cream starts getting looser when it gets warmed up. I recommend transferring it in a cooler box or somewhere cooler.

    Why you whip and mix separately? Is there a science behind or you just like that way? I’m curious about it. I love your recipes i have made a couple now and I love it.

    • @PastryLivingwithAya
      @PastryLivingwithAya  Год назад +1

      why do I whip the egg and fold the flours separately for the sponge cake? Yes, that is because we do not want to kill too many air bubbles in the whipped egg - By folding, you can mix without killing them too much which leads to a softer sponge cake. The air bubbles expands in the oven and push the cake up!
