Claire Saffitz Whipped Cream Tres Leches Cake | What's For Dessert
I am slightly embarrassed to admit that as a dessert person, and more specifically as a cake person, I hadn’t spent much time getting to know tres leches cake, a beloved Latin American dessert, prior to this book. But, as tres leches is a sponge cake soaked liberally with three kinds of dairy (usually sweetened condensed and evaporated milks, and one other), I knew we’d be a good match. At the time I developed this recipe, I’d been playing around with the idea of a sponge cake lightened with whipped cream rather than egg whites. The whipped cream contributes butterfat as well as air, producing a sponge that is light but firm-absolutely perfect, as it happens, for tres leches cake, which needs sufficient structure to be able to absorb all that liquid. When I tasted my first test, the delicate flavors of cinnamon and cream called out for a toasted nut, so I added finely chopped toasted hazelnuts to the batter. The result is a slightly unusual but very special cake.

Literally made this last week, I didn't invert the sponge properly so it broke. But fear not! I let it soak, crumbled the whole thing and made mini dessert cups layered with whipped cream, hazelnuts and cinammon. It was PHENOMENAL.

In Montenegro and Albania, tres leches is made with goat, buffalo and cow's milk, that's why it's called trileche here:)

So many online recipes are “yet another chocolate chip cookie except with the inclusion of brown butter (… or pistachios or miso or tahini or Aleppo pepper or some other ingredients of the moment). I've made many versions of Pastel de Tres Leches, but this truly is a novel variety with an ingredient change that creates a novel technique. Nice work.

Once had some of this made by a friend, whose sons finished the whole milk she bought before she could rescue them and had to substitute that with almond milk instead (still used evaporated milk and condensed milk though) and we ended up liking the almond milk in it because of the light nuttiness it added.

I´d actually recommend pouring the soak while the sponge is still warm OR heat up the soak and pour it on the cooled sponge. If one of the 2 is warm, its gonan absorb the liquid much much better

It’s shows you how similar foods can be even from different cultures and contexts.
