    Ingredients

    1 cup all-purpose flour
    1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    5 large eggs , separated
    1 cup granulated sugar , divided
    1/3 cup whole milk
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    Milk Mixture:
    12 ounce can evaporated milk
    14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
    1/4 cup whole milk

    Whipped Topping:
    1 pint heavy whipping cream
    3 Tablespoons powdered sugar
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    ground cinnamon , for topping

    Instructions
    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x13'' pan with non-stick cooking spray.
    2. In a medium bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Separate the eggs into two other
    mixing bowls.
    3. Add 3/4 cup sugar to the bowl with the egg yolks and mix on high speed until yolks are pale
    yellow. Add 1/3 cup milk and vanilla and stir to combine. Pour the egg yolk mixture over the
    flour mixture and stir gently just until combined (don't over-mix).
    4. Use electric beaters to beat the egg whites on high speed. As the begin to whip into stiff
    peaks, gradually mix in the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar. Fold the stiffly beaten egg whites into
    the batter gently, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl, until combined.

    and allow cake to cool completely.


    . Combine the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and whole milk in a small bowl.
    Once the cake has cooled use a fork to poke holes all over the top of the cake. 
    7. Slowly pour the milk mixture over the the top of the cake, making sure to pour near the edges
    and all around. Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour or overnight, to allow it to soak up the
    milk.
    . In the meantime, whip the heavy cream, sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks. Smooth over the
    top of the cake. Sprinkle cinnamon on top. Serve with fresh sliced strawberries, if desired.
    Enjoy!

    Notes
    Store Tres Leches Cake in the refrigerator, covered, for 3-5 days.

    Make Ahead Instructions: You can make Tres leches cake 1-2 days in advance. In fact, I love to
    make this cake the night before so that the cake has a lot of time to soak up the milk mixture. 

    Freezing Instructions: The baked and cooled cake can be frozen for up to 3 months, covered well.
    Thaw overnight in the fridge before pouring the three milks on top.
