When your friend turns 50 you go homemade. Big thanks to Erica Dinho, creator behind My Colombian Recipes for developing this amazing recipe. I baked this cake for a dear friends 50th birthday celebration. Lina is from Colombia herself and I wanted to make something extra special. I went to Cartagena myself a few yeas ago and enjoyed some tres leches cake — but this was something else. I learned: I will never bake a cake from a box again. Everyone should add one, two or tres (!) leches to their cake. I will only use homemade icing made in my kitchen moving forward. This cake takes time, love and patience! But it's well worth it. Truly delicious and special. INGREDIENTS
CAKE 2 ½ cups all purpose flour ½ teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons baking powder 2 cups sugar 1 cup cocoa 1 cup water 12 tablespoons butter soft 5 large eggs ½ teaspoon vanilla Tres Leches Sauce 1 can sweetened condensed milk 1 can evaporated milk 1 cup heavy cream ½ teaspoon vanilla extract FROSTING 3 egg whites ½ teaspoon cream of tartar ¾ cup sugar ¼ cup water ½ teaspoon vanilla extract INSTRUCTIONS
