Chocolate Tres Leches Cake
Description :
This rich cake, soaked in three kinds of milk, is a sweet, creamy dream!
Ingredient :
- 1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 1/2 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3/4 tsp. baking soda
- 3/4 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. baking powder
- 1 large egg
- 1 c. packed brown sugar
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 c. mayonnaise
- 3/4 c. warm coffee
- 1 (5-ounce) can evaporated milk
- 3/4 c. sweetened condensed milk
- 1 1/2 c. heavy cream, divided
- 3 tbsp. confectioners’ sugar
- Chocolate curls, for garnish
Direction :
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9-inch-square baking pan. Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and baking powder in a bowl.
- Beat egg, brown sugar, and vanilla with an electric mixer on medium speed until light in color, 1 to 2 minutes. Beat in mayonnaise just until combined. Beat in flour mixture alternately with coffee, beginning and ending with flour mixture, just until combined. Transfer batter to prepared pan.
- Bake until a wooden pick inserted into center comes out clean, 24 to 26 minutes. Cool on a wire rack 10 minutes.
- Whisk together evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and 1/2 cup cream. Pierce top of cake several times with a wooden skewer. Slowly pour milk mixture over cake (about 1/3 cup at a time), allowing mixture to soak into cake. Cool completely.
- Beat remaining 1 cup cream on high speed, 1 minute. Gradually add confectioners’ sugar and beat just until soft peaks form, about 1 minute. Spread evenly over cake and garnish with chocolate curls.
