Ingredients You’ll Need:
For the Sponge Cake:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 4 large eggs, separated
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Milk Mixture:
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp Innocent Cold Brew Coffee Rum
For the Whipped Cream Topping:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Prepare the Sponge Cake:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks and granulated sugar until pale and creamy. Add the milk and vanilla extract, and mix well. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients. - Whip the Egg Whites:
In another bowl, whip the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cake batter until well combined. - Bake and Cool:
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan. - Prepare the Milk Mixture:
In a bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, heavy cream, and Innocent Cold Brew Coffee Rum. - Soak the Cake:
Once the cake has cooled slightly, use a fork to poke holes all over the surface. Slowly pour the milk mixture over the cake, allowing it to absorb the liquid. - Chill and Prepare the Topping:
Cover the cake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld. Before serving, prepare the whipped cream topping by whipping the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. - Top and Serve:
Spread the whipped cream over the chilled Tres Leches cake. For a final touch, you can dust the top with cocoa powder or sprinkle with chocolate shavings. - Savor the Fusion of Flavors:
As you take your first forkful of Coffee Rum Tres Leches, the combination of moist cake, creamy milk mixture, and the nuanced coffee rum create a symphony of flavors that’s truly unforgettable. Each bite is a journey through layers of indulgence and sophistication.
