Easy and Delicious Tres Leches Cake

Tomorrow is a good friend's birthday.  She and her kiddos came over tonight to bring over their items for the garage sale we are having this coming weekend, so I made dinner and cake to have a little celebration.  Since we had enchiladas for dinner, I opted for a complimenting dessert...hens... Tres Leches.  This is such an easy recipe and sooooo yummy. 

Cake:
  8 egg whites
  2 cup sugar
  2 cup flour
  1 tsp vanilla
  2 tsp baking powder
  1/2 cup milk

Milk Mixture:
   2 cans evaporated milk
   2 cans condensed milk
   1/2 cup sour cream
   1/2 cup milk

Makes 8 Servings
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 1 hour
Chill time: 2 hours

For the cake:

 Whisk egg whites and sugar together until somewhat firm. Add flour, vanilla, baking powder and milk and mix well.  Pour into greased dish/pan. Cook at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

 

Milk Mixture:

 While waiting for the cake to bake, whisk all milk mixture ingredients together.  Chill until cake is ready.

Once the cake is done, check the middle with a toothpick to make sure no cake sticks to the stick.  If it is ready, take it out and let the cake cool.  

Once the cake is cool, using a toothpick, make holes all over the cake that go all the way to the bottom of the pan

Poor milk mixture over the cake.  It may seem like there is a lot of liquid, but that's ok.  It will soak in.

Chill for 2 hours to allow the milk mixture to soak into the cake.  Serve and enjoy!
