Instructions
Step 1
In a small bowl mix together the whole milk, condensed milk and lemon zest. Cover and refrigerate for an hour.
Step 2
Add lemon zest into the heavy whipping cream and mix. Cover and refrigerate for an hour as well. ( Or add lemon zest into milk if using cream Chantilly, use amount mentioned on box.)
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 160 degrees Celsius, or 320 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 4
In a medium sized bowl beat the egg whites with 1/2 tsp of lemon juice using a whisk, hand or stand mixer. Once frothy start adding the sugar gradually. Beat to stiff peaks, 3-4 minutes, and set aside.
Step 5
In a separate small sized bowl mix together the egg yolks, melted butter, vanilla, milk, lemon juice and zest.
Step 6
Sift in the all purpose flour, baking powder and salt. Mix until combined.
Step 7
Add a third of the egg whites into the yolk mixture and fold together. Add all of the yolk mixture into the remaining egg whites and carefully fold together until combined, do not overmix.
Step 8
Pour the batter onto a greased and lined baking tray and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before proceeding with the next step.
Step 9
Strain the heavy cream and beat with sugar until stiff peaks form. Or make the cream Chantilly using box instructions.
Step 10
Pour the milk syrup through a sieve onto the cooled cake. Let it sit for about 10 minutes.
Step 11
Add on the whipped cream and spread it out using an offset spatula. Add some freshly grated lemon zest to top it off.
Step 12
Let the lemon tres leches cake rest for at least an hour before serving. Enjoy!
