Rich Milk Cake (Tres Leches)
Rich Milk Cake (Tres Leches) is an absolute favourite cake of milk lovers. It is considered to have originated from Mexico though there are many disputes about the same. Still, there is no doubt about its popularity. Tres Leches mean three types of Milk. In this recipe we use milk in three different forms, whole milk, evaporated milk and condensed milk. So ensure you don't skip any of the three while preparing this recipe.

For Sponge:
In a bowl take Milkmaid, curd, oil and vanilla essence. Using a whisker, whisk till uniform consistency
Sieve flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt directly into a bowl of wet ingredients
Mix dry and wet ingredients. Slowly add milk bit by bit to get pouring consistency
Meanwhile, keep the oven for preheating at 180 C and line an 8x8 inches square tin with parchment paper/butter paper. In absence of butter paper, simply grease the tin evenly with butter
Pour the prepared batter into the tin and tap it on the counter
Keep the tin in the preheated oven at 180 c for 20 min or until cake passes the toothpick test
Remove it from the oven and let it rest in the tin for 10 min. Then de-mould the cake. Let it cool for another 5 minutes and slowly remove the butter paper, if used. Keep it in a tray/plate
For Tres Leches Mixture:
For evaporated milk - Pour 1 cup milk in a heavy-based saucepan. Stir constantly until it comes to a boil. Allow the milk to simmer on low flame with continued stirring to avoid any burning. Once the milk reduces to half of the initial quantity, then stop simmering. The evaporated milk is ready.
In a bowl, take prepared evaporated milk, Milkmaid and cream. Add vanilla essence and whisk it.
Using a fork or toothpick, prick the cake. Pour the prepared Tres Leches mixture all over the cake. Now keep it in the refrigerator for 30 min
For Frosting:
Whip the hung curd with Milkmaid and vanilla essence. Take out the cake from the refrigerator and spread this frosting evenly on the cake.
