One of the most exciting aspects of a big family is getting to learn so many new skills. During this time, we’ve experimented with essential life necessities, like cooking and baking. Being a part of a Hispanic family has its perks, especially when we have Tres Leches<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s get started! <\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have split the procedures into three parts to make life a little easier. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grab the pan and spread butter (or Pam)<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Stop: Icing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 pint of heavy cream for whipping<\/li>
  • 3 tablespoons of sugar<\/li>
  • Egg whites (from the 5 eggs in The Cake<\/em> portion)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Crack the eggs, but separate the yolk and the egg whites very carefully! This is very crucial because it makes a huge difference in the dish.<\/em> If the egg yolk fall in, I would recommend you start over. That’s a main reason why we start with the eggs before adding other ingredients<\/em>. Mix the heavy cream and sugar to create the fluffy merengue feel. Let it sit on the side until you’re ready to spread it as the final touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    • \"\"<\/figure><\/li>
    • \"\"<\/figure><\/li>
    • \"\"<\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Next: The Cake<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract<\/li>
      • 1 \u00bd teaspoons of baking powder<\/li>
      • 1 cup of all-purpose flour<\/li>
      • \u00bc teaspoon of salt<\/li>
      • \u2153 cup of evaporated milk<\/li>
      • 1 cup of sugar<\/li>
      • 5 eggs (same eggs from The Icing<\/em>)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Add baking powder, flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Get ready to use the mixer! Let it sift until the egg yolk becomes that rich, pastel yellow color. Add the milk and the vanilla extract to the mixer and MIX! Pour it into the pan and ready to bake for about 40 minutes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        • \"\"<\/figure><\/li>
        • \"\"<\/figure><\/li>
        • \"\"<\/figure><\/li>
        • \"\"<\/figure><\/li>
        • \"\"<\/figure><\/li>
        • \"\"<\/figure><\/li>
        • \"\"<\/figure><\/li>
        • \"\"<\/figure><\/li>
        • \"\"<\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

          Final Stop: The Tres Leches<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          • 1\/4 cup heavy cream<\/li>
          • One 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk<\/li>
          • One 12-ounce can evaporated milk<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            Grab the measuring cup and add the ingredients into the bowl. Use the mixer to create the liquid spread. Before adding the icing, grab a fork to poke holes into the Tres Leches, so the spread soaks in easily before icing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            • \"\"<\/figure><\/li>
            • \"\"<\/figure><\/li>
            • \"\"<\/figure><\/li>
            • \"\"<\/figure><\/li>
            • \"\"<\/figure><\/li>
            • \"\"<\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

              Last Touch: The Cherries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

              Add the cherries with enough space to cut the dish into squares, or however you would like to cut<\/em>. In a medium pan, I usually count it as 4×4, so it would be 16 cherries total- like this one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

              • \"\"<\/figure><\/li>
              • \"\"<\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

                Ready to eat and share with everyone, or maybe all just for you<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
