3 Milk Cake (Tres Leches)

Ingredients:
8 large eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk
1 can (12 oz.) evaporated milk
1 cup milk
1/4 cup Kahlua (or strong coffee)
1 teaspoon vanilla
Lightly sweetened softly whipped cream
Sliced strawberries
1. In a large bowl, with a mixer on high
speed (use whip attachment if available),
beat eggs and sugar until thick and pale
yellow, 5 to 6 minutes. In a small bowl, mix
flour and baking powder. With mixer on
medium speed, gradually add flour mixture
in small increments and beat until smooth.
Scrape batter into a buttered 9- by 13-inch
baking pan.
2. Bake in a 325° regular or convection oven
until a toothpick inserted in the center comes
out clean, 30 to 40 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, in a blender, whirl condensed
milk, evaporated milk, regular milk, Kahlua,
and vanilla until well blended. Pour evenly
over hot cake; let cool about 15 minutes, then
cover and chill until cake has absorbed all the
milk mixture, at least 3 hours, or up to 1 day.
4. Cut cake into squares or rectangles, lift out
with a wide spatula, and set on plates. Top
each piece of cake with a spoonful of whipped
cream and garnish with strawberries.
