Ingredients
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ tsp baking powder
¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs, room temperature
1 ¼ cups whole milk
½ cup pineapple juice
1 cup evaporated milk
14 oz condensed milk, chilled
2 cups strawberries, sliced
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch pan and line with parchment paper.
Whisk together flour and baking powder in a medium bowl.
In a stand mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy (3-4 minutes).
Add eggs one at a time, blending fully after each.
Alternate adding flour mixture and half the whole milk.
In a separate bowl, combine evaporated milk, condensed milk, and remaining whole milk.
Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cake cool completely.
Drizzle soaked milk mixture evenly over the cake, then refrigerate for 1-2 hours to absorb.
Top with sliced strawberries before serving.
Notes
Use almond flour for gluten-free, coconut sugar for a darker flavor, or almond/banana milk for alternatives.
Room-temperature eggs ensure better aeration.
Pineapple juice balances the sweetness of condensed milk.
Chill the cake for best absorption of the tres leches mixture.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
