Tres Leches

A milky Mexican cake. Don's favorite. You can serve it with fresh strawberries. It is divine. I think altitude affects this cake...not sure how to exactly fix it. My friend lives in the mountains and apparantly the cake never rose. I would google how to adjust to elevation. Robyn, what did you do?

5 eggs
1tsp. baking powder
2 cups sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup unsalted butter

Milks:
2 cups milk
1 14ounce sweetened condensed milk
1 12ounce evaporated milk
1 1/2 cup whipping cream
1 tsp. vanilla

Grease and flour a 9x13 pan.
Sift flour and baking powder together.
cream butter and 1 cup of the sugar until fluffy. Add eggs, 1/2 tsp. of vanilla. Beat.
Add flour mixture to butter mixture slowly.
pour into pan.
Bake ar 350 for 30 minutes.
Pierce cake several time with fork.
let cool before pouring the milk over the cake.
combine milks and the pour over cooled cake. The milks should completely soak in the cake and the cake will become like a filled sponge.
Whip whipping cream, 1 tsp vanilla and 1 cup of sugar. Top the cake with the whipping cream.
Refrigerate the cake and serve it nice and cold.
