EGGLESS
STRAWBERRY TRES LECHES CAKE
| ULTIMATE RECIPE
Eggless Strawberry Tres Leches Cake | 3 Milk Cake – I made a regular version last year, the response was pretty good. I got quite a number of request for the chocolate version and then strawberry version the last few months. Here you go, guys! One of the easiest cake to make. It’s super soft and moist as all the milks sips into the cake, made it extra flavorful with the fresh homemade strawberry puree and strawberry cream frosting. This cake is good for parties or any occasions, and you can make it ahead of time. Hope you will give this a try. Enjoy!

Transfer batter into 6x6x3 inch pan. Drop the pan few times on the table to release air bubbles.

Let it cake cool completely.
-

-
Cream & Strawberry Frosting
-
In a large chilled bowl, add the whipping cream. Place it over a bowl of ice.* Mix on low speed until slightly thickened or almost soft peak.
-
*for many of you had asked me how to make the cream stable. Placing the bowl of whipped cream is one way to do that because the cream can get stiff faster and stable.
-
Transfer half the cream into another bowl. Refrigerate while working on the next step.
-
For the remaining half, place it back into the bowl of ice. Add the strawberry puree. Mix until well combined and the cream is stiff.
-
Spread the strawberry cream on top of the chilled cake. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
-
For the other half of chilled cream, whisk it until it becomes soft and smooth, and the whisk able to hold it in a lump. This is for the piping the deco (as shown in video)
