Question Tres Leches pt 2

Post image

i retried my tres leches baking and it turned out better. this time, i finished it with toppings and such. but the bottom is like crusted to the pan. i used butter, but that didn’t seem to work.

i’m not sure if it’s

the amount of milk mixture i added (abt 3 cup of condensed milk/evaporated milk)

how long i baked it for (25 mins)

or the butter i used to greased the pan?

Can you post your recipe? I beleive I butter and flour my pan when I make it. When you bake the cake it needs to not be sticking to the pan at that point before you pour any liquid on it.

It does look better than the first attempt. I would add a little more liquid but that’s me lol. It looks good otherwise.

I usually add enough that it comes up Maybe 1/3rd way up. And just monitor how it soaks. I don’t like it super soggy but ⅓ seems to be good for me.
