The pastel colors can be created by adding white, and the more white adding into the original shade, the paler the pastel will be.

Recipe Summary Pastel De Tres Leches (Three Milk Cake)

Is a sponge cake soaked in a mixture of three kinds of milk, topped with whipped cream and strawberries (optional).

Ingredients | Aesthetic Simple Pastel Cakes

6 eggs, separated

1 cup white sugar

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

½ cup milk

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 cup heavy whipping cream (Optional)

1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk

1 cup whipped cream (Optional)

1 cup sliced fresh strawberries (Optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Grease a 10x15-inch baking dish.

Beat egg whites in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer on high until stiff peaks form; gradually beat in sugar until mixture is glossy. Beat in egg yolks, one at a time, combining each yolk before adding the next. Reduce mixer speed to medium and add flour, about 1 tablespoon at a time, to the mixture, beating continuously; beat in baking powder, milk, and vanilla extract. Pour batter into prepared baking dish.

Bake in the preheated oven until cake is lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Let cake cool for 15 minutes.

Pour 1 cup cream, sweetened condensed milk, and evaporated milk in a blender and pulse several times until well blended. Pour three-milk mixture evenly over the cake. Refrigerate cake until cold and the milk mixture has soaked in, at least 1 hour.

Cut in squares and top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream and a few sliced strawberries. Refrigerate leftovers.

Aluminum foil helps keep food moist, ensures it cooks evenly, keeps leftovers fresh, and makes clean-up easy.
