    Instructions

    Sponge Cake

    1. Preheat Oven to 350F and grease a 13x9 Pan.
    2. In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment beat your butter and sugar for 5 mins until smooth. Scrape down the sides and bottom of your bowl as needed.
    3. Add your eggs one by one allowing each egg to incorporate before adding the next one. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and do one final beat to make sure the eggs and butter are incorporated well about 2-3 mins.
    4. In a separate bowl sift your flour, baking powder and salt.
    5. With your mixer on med add in a 5 step addition the dry ingredients and milk to the batter starting with the flour and ending with flour. Dry ingredients, milk, dry ingredients, milk and dry ingredients. Scrape the sides and bottom of your bowl and give a final beat until incorporated well but do not over mix.
    6. Srape the cream out of 6 oreos and leave the cream on 6. Give them a good crush. We dont want big pieces. Add your crushed oreos to the batter giving it a gentle stir do not over mix.
    7. Bake for 25-35 mins or until a toothpick comes out clean it will be a beautiful light color.
    8. Allow cake to cool.

    Milk Blend

    1. In a separate bowl add all your milks and vanilla and give a good stir until all the condensed milk is dissolved and everything is incorporated well. When your cake cools poke holes around your cake with a fork and add 3/4 of the milk in a couple of additions until it has soaked all the milk blend. Save the rest on a container to pour more when you serve yourself a slice of cake. Best way! That way the cake is not over soaked and doesnt break apart when you cut into it!

    Whipped Cream

    1. In a stand mixer or Handheld with a whisk attachment add your Whipping cream, Sugar and Vanilla start at low speed until the mixture starts thickening. Gradually increase your speed to high as your micture thickens until you have stiff peaks.Frost your cake to your liking I like to use a 1M Wilton Tip to go around the top but a simple frost topped with more crushed oreos and fresh berries will look beautiful!

    TIPS

  • Poke enough holes where we can get the milk around the cake but not too many that when you cut into your cake later you will hava the whole cake falling apart.
  • I advice you chill your cake before eating it. There is nothing like a chilled and refreshing piece of Tres leche cake!
  • CCake will last up to 5 days in the friedge. Never leave out of fridge for too long cake has tons of dairy.
  • Depepnding on your pan and oven the baking time will vary.
  • Top with fresh fruit,caramel more oreos Yum!
