Tres Leches Cake

After trying several other recipes, this was by far the best! It has a nice firm texture, absorbs the milks very well, and best of all, is delicious!!!

  • 1 1/2 cup cake flour

  • pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven @ 325 degrees. Prepare an 8″ pan or 2 6″ pans.
    Combine dry ingredients and set aside.
    Mix oil, sugar and vanilla, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each one.
