Instructions
Prepare the Cake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks with ¾ cup of sugar on high speed until the yolks are pale yellow. Stir in the milk and vanilla.
- Pour the egg yolk mixture into the flour mixture and gently mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites on high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining ¼ cup of sugar, beating until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the batter, being careful not to deflate them.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely.
Make the Milk Mixture:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, whole milk, and Biscoff spread.
- Heat over low to medium heat, stirring constantly, until the Biscoff spread is fully melted and incorporated. Do not bring to a boil.
- Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Soak the Cake:
- Once the cake is cool, use a fork or skewer to poke holes all over the top.
- Slowly pour the milk mixture over the cake, making sure to get it into all the holes.
- Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cake to soak up the milk mixture.
Make the Whipped Topping:
- In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Add the Biscoff spread and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
Assemble the Cake:
- Spread the Biscoff whipped cream evenly over the top of the soaked cake.
- Garnish with crushed Biscoff cookies and drizzle with additional melted Biscoff spread if desired.
Serve:
- Slice and serve the cake chilled. Enjoy the creamy, spiced flavors of your Biscoff Tres Leches Cake!
