I made a Tres Leches cake the other day and it felt so fake and made up the entire time.
It started with separating egg whites and whipping to STIFF peaks, takes a long time, with added sugar, in a separate bowl mixing sifted cake flour, sugar, baking powder, egg yolks, salt, and sour cream and prepping a pan with parchment paper lined with coconut oil. Oven preheated to 350F. Mix the two bowls to consistent color then add to pan and then oven, if your timing is off the egg mix might deflate and we don’t want that.
Then they take this beautiful tall fluffy cake and they poor a mixture of canned milk on it? Like, wtf? And they top it with whipped cream topping? Though it does have to sit in the fridge for a while to soak it all in, but still.
I actually had more heavy cream leftover so I reduced it into Dulce Leches and that drizzled on top made the cake a Quatro Leches Cake.
240 grams flour
3/4 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp salt
5 eggs
250g sugar ( about 1/4th cup to the whites SLOWLY, rest to yolk mix )
1/2 cup Sour Cream

They said FiniteBanjo was crazy, they said it couldn’t be done. But after a lifetime of searching, they found the mythical fourth milk
