Pumpkin Spice Tres Leches Cake Recipe
This holiday dessert blends creamy milk flavors with the spice of pumpkin, creating a festive treat that’s as irresistible as it is memorable.
Ingredients:
Cake:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cloves
5 large eggs, separated
1 cup sugar (divided)
1/3 cup whole milk
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
Tres Leches Mixture:
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup evaporated milk
1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Topping:
1 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp powdered sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
Optional garnish: caramel drizzle or crushed pecans
Instructions:
Prepare the Cake Batter: Preheat oven to 350°F. In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. In another bowl, beat egg yolks and 3/4 cup sugar until light and creamy. Add milk and pumpkin puree, blending well. Gently fold in the dry ingredients.
Whip the Egg Whites: In a clean bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into the cake batter.
Bake the Cake: Pour batter into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes. Let cool completely.
Add the Tres Leches: Mix heavy cream, evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla. Poke holes in the cooled cake and slowly pour the mixture over it. Let soak for at least 1 hour (or overnight for best results).
Finish with Topping: Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and cinnamon until stiff peaks form. Spread over the cake and garnish as desired.
Serve: Slice and enjoy this creamy, spiced holiday dessert with family and friends!
