Description

This sweet and luscious Strawberries and Cream Tres Leches Cake is a great make-ahead dessert for celebrations!


Ingredients

Scale

Cake

15.25 oz vanilla or French vanilla cake mix

½ cup milk

½ cup oil

4 large eggs

1 cup sour cream

Tres Leches Topping

¾ cup sweetened condensed milk

½ lb fresh strawberries stem removed

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

¾ cup evaporated milk

¾ cup half and half

Whipped Topping

3 cups heavy whipping cream

1 cup powdered sugar

1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

½ lb fresh strawberries stem removed and chopped


Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350℉.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, milk, oil, eggs and sour cream. Whisk or beat with a hand mixer until well combined.

3. Butter or spray with non-stick sprayed 13”x9” baking dish. Pour in and evenly spread the cake batter.

4. Bake 30-34 minutes or until a knife inserted comes out clean. While the cake is still warm, poke holes over the entire surface.

5. While the cake is baking, make the tres leches topping. In a medium bowl, mash strawberries and sugar together with a potato masher or fork until there are no large strawberry pieces remaining.

6. In a medium bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk and the strawberries until smooth. Add evaporated milk and half and half and whisk again until well combined.

7. Once the cake has finished baking and holes have been poked, evenly pour the tres leches topping over the entire cake.

8. In a large mixing bowl, combine heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Beat on high speed with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form.

9. Once the cake has completely cooled, evenly spread the whipped topping on top. Garnish with chopped strawberries.

10. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving. It’s best if it sits overnight. Slice and serve garnished as desired.

Notes

Let the cake rest overnight for maximum flavor. You can swap in raspberries or mango for seasonal variations.
