For the peppermint lovers, this easy Peppermint Tres Leches Cake recipe is a delicious sponge cake drenched with a 3 milk blend and topped with freshly whipped cream and crushed peppermint candies on top.
Ingredients
Peppermint Tres Leches Cake
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ cup unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
5 eggs
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
11/2 cups whole milk can also use heavy cream or a combination of whole milk and heavy cream. Using more heavy cream will result more custard-like cake. I love using 3/4 cup of each.
1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1 12 fluid ounce can evaporated milk
Whipped Cream Topping
1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional: ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract or 1/4 cup Rum Chata Peppermint Bark Rum Cream
Crushed Peppermint Topping
Crushed peppermint ¼ to ½ cup
