how to make Mini Three Milks Cake
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup milk
- 4 large eggs
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fresh fruit for topping (optional)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini cake pan.

- Pour the batter into the prepared mini cake pans and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- In a separate bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract to create the soaking mixture.
- Once the cakes are cool, cut them into circles and soak each piece in the milk mixture for about 30 minutes. Make sure they absorb the liquid.
- Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form and use it to frost the tops of the soaked mini cakes.
- Top with fresh fruit if desired and serve.
