Two cups purpose flour 240 g
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 tsp Baking powder
5 large eggs separated
1 1/4 cup Granulated sugar
1/2 cup of whole milk 120g
2 tsp vanilla extract
Bake 350 f for 25-30 mins
One 12 ounce can Evaporated Milk (354g)
2/3 cup whole milk 160ml
One 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk (397g)
2 cups heavy cream (480ml)+ powdered sugar(optional)
You are so kind ❤️Thank you very much for the recipe🍰
Thank you for the oven temperature. I did not see it in the video or online recepie. ❤
Anyone else struggling with the measurement of flour? 2 cups isn't 240g.... Should I do 2 cups or 240g?.. my 1 cup measuring cup says. 1 cup = 236ml...
That's a liquid measuring cup. You need a scale to weigh flour. Otherwise, sift well and spoon out into your measuring cup to the 2 cup line, without compacting flour and it will be close to accurate.@jessicariley6235
I guess every mexican child knows this cake before any other. The tres leches has an special place in my heart.
So true! Happy baking!
My DIL is Mexican. Yes !!
Americans dont give an f about mexicans
I'm arab and I can relate 😃
Ay caramba!
I followed this recipe. I had never made a cake from scratch or done anything requiring egg separating or anything like that, so I was slightly overwhelmed at first 😂 but you made it look so easy and it was really easy to follow along to! With each successful step I felt super proud of myself. From seeing perfect peeking egg whites to looking at my cake that looked exactly like a sponge, I felt really accomplished every step of the way.
The whole reason I even made this cake was because someone very special to me told me it was his favorite cake and that it was what he wanted most for his birthday. He said it was the best tres leches he has ever had. And everyone else who tried it was crazy about it too.
I just wanted to say thank you so much for an amazing recipe and for a great, easy to follow video tutorial. It felt really good to make this for someone who means so much to me. I also loved the feeling I got from baking this cake and I can’t wait to try out more recipes and enhance my baking skills with these videos ❤
your comment made me so happy and reminded me why i love baking! hope you have a great time enhancing your skills :)
I’m in the same boat never baked a cake from scratch and making this for my lovely boyfriend for his birthday tomorrow as a surprise because it’s his favorite! I hope I have as much success as you!
I made this the other day and it is easily the best tres leches I’ve ever made. I doubled the milk mix like suggested, and I finally got the moist texture I like in a tres leches cake. The cake held up so well. I would say days 2-3 are the best days for this cake. Having it on the first day is a sin because it doesn’t do the cake justice. It needs to soak at least overnight to really get the full flavor and texture. Next time, I am going to steep the milk mixture with citrus peels and cinnamon sticks for extra depth of flavor and then soak the cake. Takes a bit more time but so, so worth it! Thank you so much good sir. You are a master of your craft. Everything I’ve made by you is always perfect and I think it’s due to how much attention you pay to details and how well you communicate with your audience. You really take the time to think about everything and it shows because when I make a recipe of yours I’m never confused or lost. You think of it all!
I made it and some parts came out chewy???? Suggestions??
So if I make the cake tonight and let the milks soak in overnight and make the whipped cream in the morning and put the whipped cream on, will it hold till dinner time?
@@veronicat6776
Filter the flour
Mix with the egg yolks evenly before folding the whites
Add the flour in batches to the york rather than vice versa
@@veronicat6776 I will😢😂😢cbvvvggvgnn he had Zx
@@ashleeridgway3017 did it?
If you add some mascarpone to the cream when you are whipping it (or after) the cream will be more stable. I love mascarpone. It's like solid cream.
cream cheese works as well!
Mascarpone is tasteless
This is seriously close to my abuela recipe. I’m going to make it for her using this recipe and surprise her. She’s has dementia and I bet when she bites into this cake she’s gonna have a good day.
Aww that is so sweet! I hope it's a taste she loves!
@@PreppyKitchen I just wanted to let you know, I made this for my grandma and it seriously gave her a whole hour of remembering everything. She said it was delicious and she is so proud of the woman I have become. The power of food. Thank you for sharing your delicious magical recipe 🥹❤️
@@reirei7851I am so glad you updated us! I was going to ask how it went. So happy you got that hour back with your abuela. It sounds like a moment that will forever stay with you. I hope life is treating you well. God bless🙏🏼
@@18238 aww Madison. That’s so sweet of you. Sadly since, she has passed away. But that moment of having her back for just a little while was everything to me.
Isn't his mother Mexican? Could be why the recipe is close 😋

What type of sugar?
@@mahdiyat White, granulated sugar :)
@@mahdiyatyou will also need powdered sugar
Ahhhh love Tres Leches cake! I was fortunate to have grown up in a neighborhood that had local Mexican bakeries and they would have these made fresh daily. It has become one of my all-time favorites ❤️.
Tres leches is from nicaragua
Might just be me, but when I mixed the yolk with the flour, it will clump so bad, I tried it twice and both times the flour clumped up... I don't know what I'm doing wrong
This happened to me to but when I did it again I added them slowly so it won’t clump up and it worked
This is the best recipe, I made it for my friends birthday (he was an international student from Mexico) and he was so touched when I made this. He was extremely happy that I made this for him and everyone loved it 🥹 I stayed up til 1 am making this hahahaha i wanna make it again

OMG! that's a wonderful surprise, that your mom is from Mexico!!! She must be so proud of you for making this. Me a Mexican in Michigan hasn't attempted to make this delicious cake. I love your recipes and I am sure I will try this. Thanks, better said gracias!
PD. My favorite way to have condensed milk is with pancakes😋😘
Hello carina
Ha! I’ve never thought of condensed milk on pancakes, and I love condensed milk. Thank you! (I’d eat it by the spoonful when I was a kid..) I’ll try it this weekend. Any how to’s I should know? Syrup on top? Honey?
Have you tried Mexican town bakery in Detroit? They have the best tres laches cake. I’m going down this weekend
Can you Please explain why his Mexican mom would be proud of him for making this cake?
@@carlamartinez3631 not sure. It’s a popular cake from Latin America. It’s not even a Mexican cake so idk why they would be proud
Cool! I’ll definitely try it! I’m exited to bake it for my grand parents, because every time when they come I bake one of your recipes and they always find it so delicious!✨♥️
Hope you love it!!
@@PreppyKitchen im sure i will!
@@EquestrianHaze_Edits did u ever make it? was it good?
1. This video convinced me that I can bake this cake.
2. Sweetened condensed milk in iced coffee is better than ANY Starbucks drink!
You need to try karak coffee!
I don’t understand what I did wrong my cake was not like a sponge cake it was kinda stiff and did not feel like a cake I don’t know what I did wrong I measure everything and used the right ingredients 😭😭I just wanned some cakeee
My guess is that it was over mixed, or the meringue wasn’t done? Not sure though
My boyfriend proposed to me after this! Thank you!🥹
That's my goal with mine girl😂❤
lol
Congrats
Congratulations 🫶🏽💖

This just happens to be one of my favorite cakes too! Every bite melts in your mouth, so yummy!!

ok Mr Prep, n it doesn't look, z that difficult very Easy ok place it in the fridge ok Ree has powder sugar 👌 cool
is it just me or people here also really watch his videos just for the sake of watching gives genuine joy b/c he really nails it explaining the recipe .
My mum has a mexican cook book, she made this cake since I was a child we call it three milk cake. Absolutely love this cake, it has been a family favourite. I'm from Australia and it's not known that well here
Yeah the translation of it it’s tres leche which means three milk cake ;). It’s delicious omg!
Not trying to be rude but that's literally the translation of it, from spanish to english
@Death Reaper235 yes I'm aware as the first comment on this post said that.
@@stephanie5173 nice nice
My bad if i sounded rude
My tres leches wasn't soft 😢. We still ate it coz it tasted good😅
I made this for our Eid celebration and it was the best cake of my life! I can’t wait for another occasion to make it again! I can’t explain how delicious the flavour is and the cake comes out so perfect for the milk syrup! Love love love! Thank you
The new editing style on these videos is too frantic and distracting. Love your channel otherwise.

Oven temperature is with fan or without?
This cake looks delicious.... I made your Lemon Bars last night, they turned out great!! I impressed myself, lol, I even made the sugar with the lemon zest.. Wow,, never knew I could do that.❤️ Happy Easter to You and your Family.. Much Love from the West Coast 🇨🇦😘❤️
This is the best thing I've ever made. Seriously!!! So delicious and fluffy and surprisingly easy/fast to make. I'll definitely be making this again soon!!!
So good, can you make 3 leches mazapan cake?
that's an amazing idea!!!
Si porfavor!!
Nooooooo mazapan 😖
When y'all mix the yolk please make sure your bowl is warm may be in microwave for 30sec to minute. Unless it's impossible to firm the yolk. I wasted eggs until I find out it needed to be warm.
Yeyyyy so excited for this recipe. We love this in the Philippines 😍
It's so good!! I miss the philippino bakeries in Los Angeles!!
Can this be made a chocolate tres leches? If so, how much cocoa powder should be added?
Absolutely loved this recipe! My family devoured the entire cake in minutes!
Thank you! thank you!

Chuy's is the best I ever had. If you don't have one near you. Sara bites chuy copycat recipe on RUclips is amazing too !! This might be my next recipe to try!
I had it for the first time at age 32 and it's the best fucking cake I've ever had
Tres leches is my favorite cake !! 🤗
Mine too! Soooooo good!
I would not use a fork to poke holes, the fork tore up the surface of my cake, bamboo skewer is the right tool to use.
I made this cake twice already and it came out delicious I am very glad I chose your video for the recipe as it's simple with clear instructions.Thanks you so much
Was half cup milk enough? Mine didn’t become that liquidy?
Yeah i am making today, my mixture is not liquidy , it’s hard
If I want to make a larger version of this to feed more people, would you suggest making two separate cakes? Or do you have a recipe for a larger cake?
Finally! I’ve been waiting for this recipe for so long, I’m so excited to make your tres leches recipe, I’m sure it will be amazing.✨
My dad will add ground cinnamon on top of the cake and it will add a extra punch of flavor to the cake. Tres leches cake is always a delight. I love your feed. Everything looks delicious.
Just made this cake with your recipe and let me tell you! I’m not a fan of tres leeches, but my grandmother loves it so I wanted to surprise her for her birthday coming up! I made a test cake last night that me and my boyfriend tasted! It was AMAZING!! I absolutely loved it! THANK YOU!
Just made your recipe tonight! It was so easy to make and was a smash hit!
I just don't like seeing the pans that are not even intended for use, hanging in the area of high priority area as decoration, it looks lame, Mom Spec lame.

It’s not Mexican it’s Nicaraguan but yes very delicious cake
@@nic558 is from all over Latin America, which Mexico is from
@@naydelinramos6526 okay? But it’s not from all over Latin America. It’s from Nicaragua. Nicaraguans introduced the cake to Guatemala, Mexico, and other countries when they migrated north into the USA. It makes sense how the history got skewed. More often than not Mexicans claim stuff automatically without doing any research. In Guerrero Mexico they have Nacatamales when it already exists. It’s another Nicaraguan dish they claim is theirs. 💀 the list goes on. Mole tamals? That was Guatemala’s idea. But Oaxacans made it recently im the 1990s. And oh yeah, the gatekeeping of mesoamerican food. But I digress
@@nic558 No, it's not Nicaraguan. Tres leches is 100% Mexican.
In México there was a practice of soaking dry bread in wine to soften it up (a practice that the Spanish brought to México) in the mod 1920's Nestlé opened a production plant in México in which they made condensed milk, so people started soaking bread in it, and pan de tres leches was born. The plant in México started printing the recipe in the back of carnation condensed milk cans. A couple of years later Nestlé started shipping condensed milk to Nicaragua during the U.S. military presence, they had the plant in mexico provide the supply, the cans they shipped were the ones with the ,pan de tres leches, recipe on it. In México pan de tres leches was popular, but the recipe completley blew up in Nicaragua, to the point they made it a national dish. Not realizing that the recipe was from Mexico, but that didn't stop you guys from nationalizing it
Nestlé even backs this claim up. The recipe originated in Mexico.
@@Ufollowme2 it’s not Mexican. It’s been proven that the oldest recipe came from Nicaragua. There’s been documented evidence for this. The cake itself was originally a different kind in Europe. Mexico did not invent tres leches. What likely happened is when Nicaraguan migrants traveled through Mexico they introduced the cake. Stop it.
I’m from PR cause the heavy cream is a little expensive we use condensed, evaporated and regular fresh milk and the taste of the tres leches is beyond heavenly, had baked few times and garnish with home made italian merengue 🧁.
May I have your recipe
Me encanta ese pastel 🍰
Love this!! New Subscriber here! I’ve already made this Recipe and it turned out sooo good 😌!!
Awesome! Thank you!
we did the egg whites and it looked really watery not foamy what did we do wrong
Did you use an electrical mixer? It won't work well if you whip it by hand you must use an electrical hand mixer and whip it up for a long time. It can take up to 10 minutes. Make sure you move the hand mixer around so air goes in the eggs and fluffs it up.
I lived this cake, definitely will cook it. I love you're descendent of Mexican people, we rock‼️I love your recipes, darling.
When you needs a fork to poke the cake, knows that is not the correct recipe for the cake. Sorry. 😕
The right one absorb totally the milk! As a Mexican I can tell you. 👎
Thank you for sharing this tres leche cake recipe, John! It’s delicious!
One suggestions for the syrup: you could add 1/4 - 1/2 cup of dark rum. It would give the cake a bit extra flavor and a bit booze. It’s a suggestion from my husband and tested well amongst people who tried my cake.
Hi... i really like your vedios and you can say i trust only you for my baking but i tried your recipe of this tres leches cake but my cake turned out very dense thats why it couldn't absorb all the milk mixture it was not pathetic but i dont know what happened i tried to follow your recipe exactly
can you please guide me what happened and how can i avoid this
We have a local tres leches maker, Tres Lecheria, which creates so many fun flavors like banana split and horchata! Now I'm wondering if I should try some of them out at home!
I love that have different flavors, so cool and I bet delicious!
@@BA86AB They are! It's really fun! (Also they make their own horchata and it's so good!)
@@DessertGeek 🥹🤤 oh man, an horchata one? I’ll have to see if I have anything closely similar to that!
@@BA86AB Fingers crossed for you!
So.. goes in to the oven but what’s the temperature ?????
350 f/176-180 c
This is one of my favorite cakes. Note: it can also be made as cupcakes, but you must use foil liners.
Pro tip: make 1.5x sauce. Pour 1x in the cake when ready. Wait 15 minutes, cake will have absorbed most of the sauce. Add the rest. With current recipe we found the cake was moist, yes, but too dry for tres leches. The dry cake can absorb a massive amount of sauce. Without the extra sauce, the top of the cake is dry.
I’ve been wanting to make this cake for Mother’s Day! Thanks!
Tried making this exact recipe but every time the cake itself turns out to be way too dense. I gotta cut back on some flour. The cakes didn’t turn out fluffy, soft and airy. 😭😭 but, the flavor is really good though. So imma just a cup, instead of two, next time. 😊😊 thank you for this recipe
I love making the sauce and putting it over all of my favorite cakes. I just recently used a pumpkin bread kit and put the sauce on it, everyone at the party went wild for it. There wasn't a single slice of cake left in the pan by the end of the event.
Genius
@@zionmcenerney8218 well thank you 😊
I just made your cake and for some reason it came out a little bit dense, but I followed the recipe perfectly. Do you know what could’ve caused this?
*Happy Holidays Easter, and Ramadan. John Kanell has made every holiday a blessedly. I am proudly to be his 4 years ago alumnae ❤💙. MANY BLESSINGS Everyone!*
didn't you make this before too?
There is no such thing as a bad mood when watching your videos.
Aww thank you!!!
What temperature did you bake this on!?
Love this. I tried making your original tres leches cake recipe on the blog but it came out dense. I like this new recipe a lot
I agree - though my mistake was to make the other one which as a video here: ruclips.net/video/nyZOSH8i5rA/видео.html This one had butter in it and was not airy at all, and really did not soak the sauce very well. All in all I felt it was a waste. And the confusing part is that blog recipe leads to this video and they are not the same recipe at all..
I recently made this cake from a box which did not require any fat, and the cake when baked turned out similar to the one in *this* video, which ended up just perfect when soaked. So I might give this video recipe a go. However it still sounds like very sweet, I might cut away some from the cake, especially if using sweetened condensed milk in the sauce.
@@nihant5520 I would be careful with taking out sugar as these eggs need it for stabilization and to create that emulsion to capture air which helps with the rising of this cake, otherwise the cake may not rise enough. I'm not saying u can't.
@@anthonyvenedicto518 Thanks, yes I wouldn't change it too dramatically, but a little less would still do I think.
@@nihant5520 I agree with that
If I’m honest with myself, there hasn’t been a recipe you’ve presented that I didn’t enjoy. The book is being bought!
I've cooked 3 of your recipes and they've been amazing! I'm super excited to try this one out, it's my husband's favorite and I wanna surprise him.
Does the cake have any egg odor after baking?
I'm definitely pre ordering your book. Your pumpkin muffin recipe was amazing! They were so light and tasted amazing! Love from the UK x
You talk too much bro
I have never wanted a tres leches cake more than i do right now! Great job 👏
lol idk what i did wrong but the cake was like a rubber 😢😢
U did something wrong try to find out your mustake because i never failed to make tres leche
On my 18th birthday, my mom bought me a tres leches cake from Costco and it had a strawberry fitting in between the two cake layers. My family and cousins have been obsessed since and it’s one of the first birthday cakes we finished fully. Everyone enjoyed it and now we have been having some variation of tres leches instead of a ‘tradition’ cake. So I really wanted to learn how to make it and will try this recipe today! Will let you know how it goes, I’m not much of a baker but this seems easy. 😅
Sooo I’m Update: I made it and while I work working on whipping up your egg whites, it wasn’t getting the peaks and it was a good 5-7 minutes whisking, probably even longer because I knew that it would be the most important part of making tres leches. So it got slightly thicker but not those stiff peaks.
My cake was verrrrryyyyyy hard. I had some hopes that the milk mixture would get soaked up and make the cake mushier but it did absolutely nothing 😢 I just wanted to know why they weren’t whipping or if there is something else that was the issue.
I did get confused at one part where you mixed in the yolks with the flour, my mixture be came verrrrrrry thick. I followed everything by it’s measurements so what may be the problem? 😢
This cake is a Nicaraguan recipe 🇳🇮❤️🎂
I was planning to cook Tres Leches and now I have the right recipe!
When I combined the egg mixture with the dry ingredients, it didn't resemble the video. The mixture was dryer. I didn't read the remark that suggests doubling the amount of milk to one cup. I plan on making another cake after this one comes out of the oven, adding one cup of milk rather than 1/2 cup of milk to the egg mixture.
I'm from Nicaragua and I love this cake so much, it's actually my mom's favorite, I'm thinking about making this for her birthday so thank you so much for the recipe, they're always amazing
What is the oven temperature?
*Tres leches was inspired originally from England around the middle ages. Considering its form, tres leches can be categorized as Trifle Cake which originated in England. Soaking a cake was and still an easy way to repurpose old or stale cake. In the 1930 depression hits and prices were skyrocket but canned milk were affordable and added luxury to cooking in times of needs. Someone in Nicaragua got creative possibly inspired by "Pio V" or "Sopa Borracha", and combined evaporated milk, and whole milk to sponge cakes, and soaked the cake with the MegaMilk.*
Your smile is so infectious! I'm making lemon strawberry cupcakes for easter! (lemon cupcakes with strawberry buttercream) thank you for all the delicious recipes!!😋
Is the recipe going to be fine if i don't use evaporated milk?
This Cake its exactly the perfect balance of soft textures, sweet and milk! I've been doing it for several times and this year, TODAY, it was the request of my husband for his B-day cake! Lovely! Thank you so Much! Delicious!
Awesome recipe came out beautifully. Only thing that I had to change was the baking time it was closer to 35 minutes for me since I live at a high altitude.
it looks sooo good
Even if I am full I still have space for more
I made this for a Christmas Eve family lunch and it was amazing! The perfect dessert for this crowd!
Everytime I make it, it’s always tough. I haven’t over mixed too. I use an aluminium tin foil, could that be the problem? I’ve tried everything someone please help me
My cake came out tough too and I didn’t overmix the batter.
You make baking soooo much fun. The cake looks scrumptious! Definitely will try it. Thank you for your effort on the video. By the way, congrats on your book!
I LOVE 3 Leches, but I'm lactose intolerant, so I rarely get to enjoy it's glory. I have to buy myself some lactose intolerance pills if I ever plan on making or eating this 🤣😋
Tres leches is soooo delicious!
Hey! I didn't know you were part Mexican. 🙌 That's awesome~ The tres leches cake is definetly a staple in our culture. You have not lived life if you've never had tres leches! 😁💕
I love tres leches cake too!
I played around with a couple f extra versions to add to my repertoire.
1. At Christmas, I add homemade, spiked egg nog in place of the evaporated milk and cream.
2. I make a chocolate version with a rich, Mexican hot cocoa.
And to round up and have a trifecta....
3. I’ve used coconut milk in place of evaporated milk or cream.
Can I make the sponge in advance and put the syrup the day after?

Yummmmmmmy………….♥️💘🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂💘♥️
Made that cake yesterday and it turned out just amazing!!!!! My finace and my relatives also love it!!! Thanks!!!
🤔 Wait, didn’t you make this video already? I’m pretty sure you did. Anyways, I used this recipe for a school project and it was really good.👍 I hope I can make it again. :)
That looks gorgeous
So whenever people make this cake the easy way, they use box cake mix. No wonder the cake doesn’t really absorb the milks and I can always tell the difference from a traditional tres leches cake
Everything you make is amazing! I've tried a few recepies and my family was in love 😍
