🥛 Creamy Milk Cake Recipe | Soft, Moist, and Melt-in-Your-Mouth







🍰 What Is Creamy Milk Cake?

Creamy Milk Cake, also known as Tres Leches Cake, is a soft sponge cake soaked in a rich blend of three milks — evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream.

The result? A melt-in-your-mouth, ultra-moist dessert that’s sweet, creamy, and unbelievably light. It’s perfect for birthdays, holidays, or anytime you crave something rich yet refreshing.

🧺 Ingredients

🧁 For the Cake:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • 5 large eggs, separated

  • 1 cup granulated sugar (divided: ¾ cup + ¼ cup)

  • ⅓ cup milk

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

🥛 For the Milk Mixture:

  • 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

  • ½ cup heavy cream

🍦 For the Whipped Cream Topping:

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar

  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

🧑‍🍳 How to Make Creamy Milk Cake

Step 1: Prepare the Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

  4. Separate egg whites and yolks into two bowls.

  5. Beat egg yolks with ¾ cup sugar until pale and creamy. Add milk and vanilla.

  6. Gently fold in the dry ingredients.

  7. In another bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add ¼ cup sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.

  8. Gently fold egg whites into the batter until smooth.

Step 2: Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let it cool completely.

Step 3: Soak with Milk

In a large bowl, whisk together evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream.
Using a fork or skewer, poke holes all over the cooled cake. Slowly pour the milk mixture evenly over the cake.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours, or overnight for best results.

Step 4: Top It Off

Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Spread over the chilled cake.

Garnish with:

  • Fresh berries 🍓

  • A dusting of cinnamon 🌿

  • Caramel drizzle 🍯 (optional)

🌟 Tips for Perfect Milk Cake

  • Let the cake cool completely before soaking — this helps it absorb the milk evenly.

  • Chill overnight for the creamiest, most flavorful results.

  • Use cold whipping cream for the fluffiest topping.

  • Serve it cold — it tastes best straight from the fridge!
