'Strawberry Coconut' Tres Leches cake recipe

-


WATCH THE VIDEOS ON ME MAKING THIS CAKE BELOW!
You Need:
6 egg white
6 egg yolks
2 1/2 cups Sugar
2 cups flour
1 cup warm milk
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 can condensed milk
1 can evaporated milk
1 quart heavy whipping cream
1 small box fresh Strawberries
1 cup coconut

Preheat your oven to 350' F. In a large bowl beat together the egg whites and 2 cups of sugar until they become fluffy and creamy, then add the egg yolks, flour, warm milk and baking powder, mix until the mixture is creamy.

Get either a large rectangular Pyrex, or two smaller rectangular Pyrex just as I did. Butter the Pyrex with PAM butter spray and pour the cake mix into the Pyrex. Bake for 30 - 35 minutes.

When it comes out the oven, let it cool off and turn over onto a deep tray. If you baked one large cake then you need to slice the cake in half to add the filling. If you baked two smaller cakes then turn over one cake onto a deep tray.

In the blender or with your hand mixer, blend together 1 can condensed milk, 1 can evaporated milk and fill up 1 can of heavy cream, mix all together until well blended.

Spray a small pot with PAM butter spray and add 1 can condensed milk to the pan on low fire mix constantly and add 1/2 cup coconut. Continue mixing until the consistency is thicker but still spreadable. (If you don't want your filling as sweet, you can add 1 egg yolk to the condensed milk. Mix vigorously, then add to the pot and follow directions as above).

Poke lots of wholes to the bottom layer of your cake then pour half the Tres Leches mixture onto the cake. Fill cake with your coconut condensed milk filling. Wash and slice the strawberries and layer on top of the filling.

Get the other half of your cake and cover cake with the top layer. Again poke lots of wholes onto the top layer of your cake and pour the other half of the Tres Leches onto the cake. The cake will eventually soak up the milk.

Refrigerate the cake overnight or for at least 12 hours.

Make whipped cream by getting 2 cups heavy cream and 1/2 cup sugar beat with your hand mixer for about 3 minutes or until the mixture becomes thick as whipped cream. Be careful to not over beat or else it will turn into butter. Use this to gently cover your cake. Make more whipped cream as needed. Top cake with coconut and Fresh whole Strawberries.

Follow my video part 5 to learn how to decorate your cake. But, I suggest you watch all of them to have a better picture on how to 'Bake something sweet' Tres Leches style!

Bon Appetite!!!

Do you get a white ooze when cooking Salmon?

-

Does your salmon often look like this when you cook it? Tried baking, frying, poaching it but this stuff keeps coming out? Quick tip: when cooking salmon it is common for a white sort of cream to come oozing out all around the fish. Though it does not affect the taste. It can be found to be annoying and not pretty. But I found the trick to solving this problem, it happens because salmon is an oily fish, there are many oils within the fish itself. When cooking all of these oils come out in the form of this white ooze, normally from my own experience, when this happens the fish tends to become dry. Because now all of that moisture and oils meant to keep the fish succulent and juicy was just taken out. I found a solution to this problem. To keep all the oils locked in, you need to dry out the surface of the fish.  Before seasoning drizzle a little bit of vinegar on the fish and rub it in well. Continue your seasoning process. You will see that your problem will be resolved. ...

Mommy Grandma Here is my beautiful mother and my grandmother both of whom I love dearly. Oh, yes. And look at my darling twin sister. My mirror, my look alike. which one am I? Do you know? Well my mom and grandma were  both born in Furna - Brava, Cape Verde also known for its portuguese name as CaboVerde. A portuguese speaking Island off of the coast of West Africa. Me in CapeVerde In CapeVerde just like in any other Country there are many traditional dishes such as 2 of the main ones. Cuscus - a breakfast bread and Cachupa- a heavy soup for lunch. These are 2 of my favorite Capeverdian foods along with others such as funginho, gigacida, and the list goes on. Cuscus is a breakfast food. For those of you who don't know what it is, its similar to a corn muffin or a corn type of bread. It is made fresh and eaten whilst hot off of the stove spread with loads of butter to melt nicely on top. I love eating this with my favorite rasberry tea. Some of you might hate i...

Ingredients 2 cups hominy corn 1/2 cup evaporated milk 1 1/2 cups coconut milk 1/2 cup water 3/4 cup condensed milk 1/2 cup cornstarch 1/2 tsp nutmeg 2 tsp vanilla extract pinch salt How to make it: Soak hominy corn in water for a few hours or preferably overnight (If you are making this in a rush and don't have time to presoak your hominy corn. No problem it will just take a little longer to cook because soaking softens the corn.) Put your hominy corn in a pot with about 2 1/2 to 3 cups water and boil on medium high heat for about 30 minutes or until they are very soft that you can cut it with a knife or poke it with a fork. and the water is nearly gone Lower your heat to medium low and take half of your coconut milk and mix in the cornstarch to it until smooth. Put that in the pot as well as the rest of your coconut milk. It will automatically thicken your hominy corn mixture now add in nutmeg, vanilla evaporated milk and condensed milk. Bring to a light boil and...
