Let's delve into the Tres Leche Cake with Fresh Blackberries and Whipped Icing Recipe:
For the Cake:
- 1 cup All-purpose Flour (King Arthur advised)
- 1.5 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 5 large Eggs, separated (farm-fresh, organic eggs suggested)
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar, divided
- 1 tsp pure Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Extract
- 1/3 cup Whole Milk
Tres Leches Mixture:
- 1 can (14 oz) Sweetened Condensed Milk (Borden's suggested)
- 1 can (12 oz) Evaporated Milk (Nestle Carnation suggested)
- 1/2 cup Heavy Whipping Cream (Land O Lakes suggested)
Whipped Icing:
- 2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
- 3 tbsp Granulated Sugar
Garnish:
- Fresh Blackberries
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and dust a 9x13 inch baking dish with flour.
2. Assemble the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Keep aside.
3. Vigorously whisk the egg yolks with 3/4 cup sugar until they're light and have doubled in volume. Stir in the milk and vanilla.
4. Whip the egg whites to soft peaks, gradually incorporating the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar. Continue whipping until they're glossy and firm but not overly dry.
5. Merge the mixtures. Delicately fold in the flour mixture to the egg yolk concoction, then fold this mixture into the egg whites.
6. Bake the cake. Gently pour the batter into the prepared dish and smooth the surface. Bake for approximately 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow it to cool entirely in the dish.
7. Prepare the Tres Leches Mixture. In a small saucepan over low heat, blend the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and heavy cream. Stir until well integrated and heated through. Avoid boiling it.
8. Soak the cake. After the cake has cooled, pierce holes across the surface with a fork. Gradually drizzle the tres leches mixture all over the cake, making sure it permeates the holes.
9. Chill the cake. Let the cake rest for approximately 30 minutes to absorb the milk mixture, then cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or even better, overnight.
10. Prepare the whipped icing. Whip the heavy cream with sugar until stiff peaks form. Frost the chilled cake generously.
11. Garnish with freshly sliced blackberries just before serving. Savor every bite!
Just as we chose our ingredients with utmost care for the tres leches cake, I recommend using organic, farm-fresh eggs, premium all-purpose flour such as King Arthur, and pure Madagascar Bourbon vanilla extract for an unparalleled flavor experience. Trust Borden's Sweetened Condensed Milk, Land O Lakes Heavy Whipping Cream, and Nestle Carnation Evaporated Milk for that heavenly tres leches soak.
The crowning glory is the whipped icing, an irresistible companion to the rich cake. Add fresh, quality blackberries for garnish, akin to the homes in our West Texas towns, where delightful touches make all the difference.
In the same spirit with which we crafted our tres leches cake, I extend my passion and commitment to a wide array of West Texas communities, each with its unique charm and vibrancy, from Abernathy to Wolfforth.
