Oreo Chai Tres Leches
Milk Blend
Whipped Cream
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350F and prepare 9x13 pan with non stick spray.
- Heat milk and butter together in the microwave until it is melted add vanilla mix until combined and set aside.
- Sift the flour, baking powder and salt and set aside.
- Place eggs on a bowl with hot water for about 5 minutes to bring to room temperature.
- In a bowl beat eggs and sugar on high speed for 5-7 minutes until it has doubled in volume.
- Next, fold the flour mixture in two parts into the egg mixture.
- Once the flour is mixed make sure the milk/butter mixture is warm/hot and add it to the egg/flour mixture and mix until combined.
- Add oreo chunks and mix gently until combined.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and quickly place on the oven spongecake batter does not like to sit out it can change the texture.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool completely.
- Once the cake has cooled with a bread knife gently remove the top lining of the cake.
- Using a fork poke holes all around the cake.
- Prepare the milk blend by adding all the milks and cinnamon and mixing until combined then add the tea bags and allow it to sit with the tea bags for 5 minutes. Next, remove the tea bags and gently squeeze the excess liquid on the tea bags into the milk blend.
- Soak the cake in two to three additions allowing the cake to soak in the milk completely each time.
- Once the cake has soaked in all of the milk enclose with the plastic wrap around the pan and refrigerate for 4-6 hours.
- Next, add the heavy whipping cream, sugar and vanilla into a bowl and mix on low speed until it begins to thicken.
- Once the whipped cream has soft peaks bump the speed up to high and mix until it has stiff peaks.
- I use store bought caramel favorite is Mrs.Richarsons or Salted Caramel from Trader Joes or even the one from William Sonoma if you're feeling fancy but I also have a caramel recipe I will link below.
- Next, frost the cake then swirl caramel on top. The caramel is a must do not skip out on this step it brings the cake together.
- Enjoy!
- Cake can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days.
