Tiramisu Tres Leches cake is the ultimate dessert mashup of Italian Tiramisu and Mexican Tres Leches cake!! Creamy mascarpone whipped cream slathered on a sponge cake that is soaked in espresso infused milk.

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon cream of tarter
  • 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole milk preferably)
  • 2 tablespoons instant coffee
  • 1 1/2 cups milk (whole milk preferably)
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 7 ounces sweetened condensed milk ((1/2 of a 14 ounce can))
  • 2 tablespoons white rum ((optional))
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons confectioners sugar
  • 1 cup mascarpone
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • Cocoa powder (for dusting)

Directions

  1. 1

    Separate the eggs while they’re still cold, placing the whites in a medium bowl and the yolks in a larger bowl. Cover both bowls and let them sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before you start preparing the cake.

  2. 2

    Warm the milk on the stovetop or in the microwave—there's no need to bring it to a boil. Remove from heat, stir in the instant coffee, and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, mix in 3/4 cup of heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, rum (if using), and vanilla extract.

  3. 3

    Once the cake has cooled completely, use a toothpick or fork to poke holes all over the surface. This will allow the milk to penetrate the cake and make it exceptionally moist.

  4. 4

    Add 2 cups heavy cream, confectioners sugar, mascarpone, vanilla extract and salt into a large bowl and continue to beat until it is thick and frosting consistency.
