Are there any lemmings who can recommend a good tres leches recipe? I’ve never had one, so I don’t really know what to look for.
I’ve had a look online and I’ve pretty much only been able to find recipes that have quantities in imperial measurements. For most things thats not a problem, but I have no idea how to covert solid metrics into volumetric and vice versa (eg. butter in TSP and flour in cups)
Closest I’ve been able to find is this one from a UK supermarket, but it looks as dense as a neutron star. My understanding is that these things are meant to be as moist as anything.
Can someone please share one that they’ve tried, liked and can vouch is authentic (also with metric measurements)
If you see anything online that measures baking ingredients in anything but weight, I’d say it’s a hard pass.
The first places I check for baking are King Arthur, or Serious eats because they care about things like this. Here’s a recipe that looks pretty legit.
There is no escape if you are trying to bake traditional and unique american cakes like checks notes
generic sponge and butter with sugar as cream, that you customize with food coloring, rice crispies and frosting made of sugar and food coloring.
