Tres Leches Cake

About this Cook

I've been cooking for as long as I can remember (as a matter of fact, I remember my first meal at 11; fried chicken, corn on the cob and mashed potatoes) but recently I have found that cooking is my "creative outlet".

My favorite things to cook

I love cooking just about anything, I especially love figuring out things that people may not have tried and I try to surprise their taste buds.

My favorite family cooking traditions

My mom's home made cinnamon rolls, they've never been reproduced.

My cooking triumphs

I've conquered cakes!

My cooking tragedies

My first meal mentioned above was TERRIBLE. I couldn't figure out why the chicken didn't look like KFC chicken so I kept it frying for a very, very long time, until it was brown. By then it was more like chicken jerky ;)

Perfect Flourless Orange Cake

I haven't made this exact recipe but I have made one that is similar. I think a common problem people are having with the cake falling apart could be solved by using a springform pan, and maybe treating this a little more like a cheesecake and cooking it in a 1" water bath. Also, after the oranges are cool enough to handle, you should dissect them and remove as much of the seeds, strings and white pith that you can. That may help alleviate some of the bitterness.

Tres Leches (Milk Cake)

This is the first Tres Leches Cake I have made and so far it looks FABULOUS! I did separate my eggs and beat the whites... but when I went to add them to the "flour mixture" as suggested, they had separated into foam and whites, so it was rather gooey, but the cake batter turned into a cake! I cut the top off to make it flat and have been dipping the pieces into the milk mixture, and that's tasty, so I can only imagine what this is going to taste like in the morning!!! Yay!!!
