Ingredients

  • 12 Large Eggs
  • 1 1/2 Cups sugar
  • 2 1/2 Cups Flour divided into three equal parts.
  • 6 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

cream

  • 2 cups milk whole
  • 10 oz condensed milk
  • 8 oz evaporated milk
  • Whipped Cream
  • Strawberries

Instructions

For Sponge Cake

  • Preheat oven to 350 F
  • Beat the eggs in a stand mixer at medium speed, slowly adding the sugar. Continue beating for about 10-15 minutes. When you are ready for the next step, this mixture will have a creamy texture, almost like whipped cream. 
  • Remove the bowl from the stand mixer, and slowly fold in the first part of the sifted flour and slow mix by hand with a whisk until the flour is incorporated. Repeat with the remaining two parts of the flour. 
  • Add the vanilla and oil and stir slowly with a spatula until completely incorporated. 
  • Add the batter to your cake pan of choice. This amount will fit into two 8 inch circle pans, or one 9 x 13. 
  • Bake for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. 
  • Remove from oven and let cool until completely cooled. 
  • Poke small holes along the surface of the sponge cake. 

For Tres Leches Mixture

  • Combine the sweetened condensed milk, the evaporated milk, and the whole milk and mix well. 
  • Pour the above mixture over the sponge cake, covering the entire cake. 
  • Leave cake in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, and then decorate with homemade whipped cream, strawberries, or other fruit of your choosing.
