Does anyone know the ingredients to make a Spanish Cake?I know it requires three different milks.?

Question

I ate some of this cake when I was in Mexico and I can not find the ingredients any where.

Answer 1

Mexican/Spanish Cake

INGREDIENTS:
1 1/4 cup cake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup oil
5 eggs, large
1 teaspoon plus 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup plus 1/2 cup milk
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 cup plus 3/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon rum
1 pinch salt

PREPARATION:
Combine flour and baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the oil, sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Add the eggs to the sugar mixture one at a time until well combined. Stir in the 1/2 cup of milk, then gently fold in the flour mixture a little at a time.
Pour batter into a lightly greased cake pan or baking dish and bake at 325 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until it feels firm and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Let the cake cool until room temperature.

Turn it over onto a platter with raised edges. Pierce cake with a fork 20-30 times. Let it cool for an additional 2 to 3 hours.
Whisk together 1 cup milk, 1 cup sweetened condensed milk, 1 cup heavy cream and rum. Slowly pour over cooled cake. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Occasionally, spoon the milk runoff back onto the cake.

In a mixing bowl, add 3/4 cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1 Tablespoon sugar. Beat until peaks form. Spread a thin layer over the cake.

Hey Now...

For Tres Leches Cake
my friends GrandMother told me to use:

1 yellow cake mix (with pudding)
baked as directed in 13 by 9-inch pan

Add the topping mixture after poking small holes in
a cooled cake, let soak for an hour or so and
then refrigerate.

For topping mixture:
1 can evaporated milk
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 pint heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup rum (or to taste)

To finish:
Top off with...
crushed macadamia nuts, diced cherries
and/or crushed pineapple.

I personally like using the combo of
evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk &
heavy whipping cream
instead of plain old milk...
It is much more "lush"
