Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter
• 1 cups granulated sugar
• 5 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups whole milk
• 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
• 12 ounces evaporated milk
• 1 cups hazelnut creamer (or nut-flavored cream)
• 0.5 cups hazelnut spread (e.g., Nutella)
• 1 cups heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 0.5 cups toasted hazelnuts, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x13-inch cake pan.

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

While the cake bakes, prepare the cuatro leches syrup. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, hazelnut creamer, and hazelnut spread until smooth and fully combined.

Step 8

Once baked, let the cake cool completely in the pan. Use a skewer or fork to poke holes all over the surface of the cake.

Step 9

Slowly pour the cuatro leches syrup over the cake, ensuring it soaks evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.

Step 10

Before serving, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until soft peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the top of the cake.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped toasted hazelnuts and drizzle with additional hazelnut spread if desired.

Step 12

Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy the rich and creamy Tres Leches Hazelnut Cake Cuatro Leches!
