Lucia's Tres Leches Cake

This recipe is from a Mexican friend of Marti's - very yummy!

1 1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
5 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 can evaporated milk
1/2 can condensed milk

Grease & flour either a 9x13 pr two round cake pans. If desired line with parchment paper.
Heat oven to 350 degrees.

Sift or whisk the flour and baking soda together set aside.

Beat eggs yolks with half of the sugar until double in volume. Add milk, vanilla & flour mixture.

In another bowl, beat egg whites with remaining sugar until soft peaks form. Gently fold into batter.

Pour batter into pan(s) and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Let cake(s) cool in pan. When cooled, poke the cake(s) all over with a fork or a knife. Mix together the evaporated and condensed milk. Pour about half the milk over the cake(s). After milk has soaked in, turn the cakes over in the pan and look for dry spots, pouring the remaining milks wherever it is needed. Store cake in the fridge until ready to serve.

NOTES: I love serving this cake topped with real whipped cream and fresh fruit especially berries! If you want a sweeter cake use the whole can of condensed milk.
