Ingredients

• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 5 Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 1 can (12 oz) Evaporated milk
• 1 can (14 oz) Sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 3 cups Mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for berries)
• 0.25 cup Triple Sec or any orange-flavored liqueur
• 1.5 cups Chilled heavy cream (for whipped topping)
• 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for whipped topping)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for whipped topping)
• 2 tablespoons Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the whole milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

While the cake bakes, prepare the drunk berries. In a medium bowl, mix the berries, 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and Triple Sec. Let the mixture sit for at least 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Once the cake is baked, let it cool for 10 minutes. Use a fork to poke holes all over the surface of the cake.

Step 9

In a large measuring cup or bowl, whisk together the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and 1 cup of heavy cream. Slowly pour this mixture over the entire cake, ensuring it soaks in completely. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 10

Before serving, prepare the whipped topping. In a chilled bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to whip 1.5 cups of heavy cream, powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until soft peaks form.

Step 11

Spread the whipped cream evenly over the chilled cake.

Step 12

Drain the drunk berries and spoon them generously over the top of the whipped cream. Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired.

Step 13

Slice, serve, and enjoy your Drunk Berries in Tres Leches Cake!
