Another from Ina Garten's Make Ahead cookbook. I've never had Tres Leches cake but this sounds amazing.

INGREDIENTS
- 1.5 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking poder
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt
- 3 eggs at room temperature
- 1 cup plus 5 TBSP granulated sugar
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 12 oz evaporated milk
- 12 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- seeds from 1 vanilla bean
- 8 cups mixed berries for serving
- confectioners sugar for dusting
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9 x 13 x 2 inch baking pan
- Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a small bowl and set aside. Place the eggs, 1 cup of sugar, and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment abd beat on medium high speed for 10 minutes (really!) until light yellow and fluffy. Reduce the speed to low and slowly add half hte flour mixture, then the milk, and finally hte remaining flour mixture. Mix with a rubber spatula to be sure the batter is well mixed. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth teh top, and bake for 25 minutes, until cake springs back when toughed lightly in the middle and a cake tester comes out clean. Set aside to cool in the pan for 30 minutes.
- In a 4-cup measuring cup, whisk together the heavy cream, evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, almond extract and vanilla seeds. Using a skewer, poke holes all over the cooled cake and slowly pour the cream mixture over the cake, allowing it to be absorbed completely before continuing to pour the rest. Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
- To serve, toss fruit with the 5 TBSP sugar. Dust the cake with confectioners sugar, cut in squares, serve with fruit and whipped cream.
