WHAT IS TRES LECHES CAKE?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A Tres Leches Cake<\/a> is a sponge cake drenched in three types of milk\u2014whole, condensed, and cream. That\u2019s what tres leches means \u2013 three milks. It is a popular milk cake recipe across Latin America that originates from Nicaragua<\/a> (or at least that's what most people agree on).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I added a special ingredient to my version of this eggless tres leches cake: saffron, my nod to Diwali. To me, this sweet, comforting cake tastes of festivities itself. It\u2019s gorgeously moist, absolutely delicious<\/strong>, and has a wonderful melt-in-the-mouth consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOW TO MAKE SAFFRON MILK CAKE?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Step 1<\/strong>: Sift the usual suspects - all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2:<\/strong> Whisk in caster sugar and set aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3:<\/strong> In a separate bowl, whisk oil and yogurt with a few strands of saffron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4:<\/strong> Combine the dry ingredients into the wet to form a thick batter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 5<\/strong>: Pour the cake batter into a well-greased parchment paper-lined baking pan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 6:<\/strong> Bake for 30\u201335 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOW TO MAKE SAFFRON MILK?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Step 7:<\/strong> While the sponge cake bakes, make the saffron milk by adding saffron threads to warm milk. Let it sit and infuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 8:<\/strong> Stir in the condensed milk and cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 9:<\/strong> By now, the cake should be ready. Take it out of the oven and poke it with your skewer, so it\u2019s literally riddled with holes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 10:<\/strong> Pour the saffron milk concoction over the cake, completely bathing it in the three-milk mixture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 11<\/strong>: Set it aside to absorb the milk while it cools on the counter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 12:<\/strong> The saffron milk cake tastes best when cool, so cover it with plastic wrap and keep it in the fridge overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final step:<\/strong> Serve chilled, topped with whipped cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
