    Tres Leches Cupcakes

    Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

    These Tres Leches Cupcakes are light and fluffy cupcakes filled with three creamy milks and topped with a light and fluffy whipped cream frosting.

    These Tres Leches Cupcakes are an easy homemade cupcake recipe. These totally made from scratch cupcakes are decadent and always a hit for celebration!

    Do you love a tres leches cake? You'll love it even more in these beautiful cupcakes!

    You may be asking if the paper cupcake wrappers are strong enough to hold all the milky cupcakes? Yes, it works out perfectly! No mess and no leaks!

    Tres Leches. Three milks. Ripples of soft whipped cream on top of a milky cake. That sensual cherry on top...mmm!

    I see Tres Leches and other luscious Cuban desserts right next to the Cuban coffee station at our Publix every week. Aleyda is always ready with her contagious Cuban smile. “Hola! Come estas? Quieres un cafecito?” Aleyda asks me, “Would you like a Cuban coffee?” I always want a Cuban coffee!

    I quickly walk by to start my shopping. I dare not glance down for more than a 1/2 a second at that dreamy dessert just beckoning me to buy it and sink my teeth into its creamy cake.

    I received a copy of A World of Cake by Krystina Castella last week. I can’t stop looking at it and dreaming of which cake I want to try. It’s gorgeous!

    I decided to try first the Tres Leches recipe. I made a cake. It disappeared in 10 minutes.

    The next day, I made cupcakes. If you never had Tres Leches, you must try it. The cake is sweet and milky drenched in the three milks. I made a quick whipped topping to spread on top. I had to put on a cherry just the way I see it every week at our grocery store.

    My son had 2 big slices of the cake. He kept saying, “I love it Mommy! I love it!”

    The infamous Tres Leches! Here’s the lineup: evaporated milk, whole milk, sweetened condensed milk.

    • all-purpose flour
    • baking powder
    • salt
    • unsalted butter
    • sugar
    • 7 eggs
    • vanilla extract
    • sour cream

    Tres Leches Topping

    • milk
    • sweetened condensed milk
    • evaporated milk

    What does the recipe yield?

    This tres leches makes 1 cake (serves 6-8) or approx. 16 cupcakes

    How to make a tres leches cake?

    To Prepare
    Preheat the oven to 350 F. Butter and flour a 12-inch round cake pan or your muffin pans.

    To Make the Cake
    Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.

    In a separate large bowl, cream the butter and sugar with a mixer until fluffy.

    Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition.

    Stir in the vanilla. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternation with the sour cream, and mix until blended.

    To bake:
    Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan.
    Here it is as a cake.

    To make the Tres Leches Topping
    Stir together the milk, condensed milk, and evaporated milk. when the cake is cool, remove from the pan and transfer to an ovenproof serving tray. Pierce the cake all over with a fork.

    Spoon the milk mixture over the cake and let soak for 5 minutes. (I let mine soak for about 15-20 minutes). I brushed it on my cupcakes with a pastry brush. I didn’t use all the tres leches mixture on the cupcakes.

    Whipped Cream
    Whip one pint of whipped cream until soft peaks form. Don't overbeat it because you will then have butter. Add two tablespoons of powdered sugar and combine for about 1 more minute.

    For Cake or Cupcakes:

    Pipe or spoon on the whipped topping. Don’t forget the cherry on top!

      Even though I do not like maraschino cherries myself, I would still put one on top because it completes the cake. I have this book on my wishlist.

      I went to Facebook and "Liked" A World of Cake.

      I have never ever had Tres Leches cake, cupcake or anything but the cake looks so moist and fluffy and the frosting so light and creamy I need to try this.

      I hope you know I mean it when I say THANKS for sharing this with us. 🙂

      Love,

      Dionne

      Your cake and cupcakes look perfect! I LOVE Tres Leches cake and would love to taste yours!! Luca is just too cute staring at the cake. I think he secretly wanted to take the whole cake into the corner and eat it by myself. haha 🙂

      Don't include me in the giveaway, I just wanted to comment. 🙂

      Since I don't bake much, you don't have to include me in the giveaway. There are others that would have much more use for a resource like that book.

      I just wanted to say that those cupcakes and the cake look amazing. I've seen tres leches cakes before but never tried them. Now I think I need to. Thanks for the extra push with this recipe.

      I love the idea of a cookbook with background and origins of the cakes. I do monthly cooking nights themed by country and sometimes regions of countries. This would be handy. If I don't win, I'm going to see if our library has it or check my local bookstore.

      Also, I made an attempt at a chocolate tres leches cake a few years ago that failed. It wouldn't absorb the milks mixture. I was using an odd recipe but seeing someone else's success makes me think I should try it again. Thanks for that encouragement.

      They look so good! I've always wanted to try tres leches cake, but I get afraid it'll disappear in 10 minutes like yours did, only I'll do the damage alone! I've never seen it in cupcake form... too cute.
