Carey,

Not a good picture of the cake, but I think you can see that it was decorated like the one you just did.

Re: Cakes

Tres Leche Cake



Cake

1 cup sugar (divide into 3/4 cup and 1/4 cup portions)

5 eggs, separated

1/3 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

Butter for greasing baking dish



Milk Syrup

1 can evaporated milk

2 cans sweetened condensed milk

1 pint whipping cream

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 teaspoon cinnamon or rum



Meringue Topping

1 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

3 egg whites

================================================== ===========

Cake

Beat 3/4 cup sugar and the egg yolks until light and fluffy. Stir in the milk, vanilla extract, flour, baking powder.



Beat the egg whites to soft peaks, adding the cream of tartar after 20 seconds. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and continue beating until the whites are glossy and firm. Gently fold the whites into the cake mixture. Spoon the batter into a 9x13 inch butter/margarine greased baking dish.



Bake the cake for 30-35 minutes at 350 degrees or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cake cool for one hour. Poke holes in the cake with a fork.



Milk Syrup

Combine the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, cream and flavorings and whisk until mixed. Pour the syrup over the cake. If all cream does not absorb within 45 minutes, spoon out excess.



Meringue

Place all but 2 tablespoons sugar in a heavy saucepan with 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar and 1/2 cup of water. Cook over high heat, covered, for 2 minutes. Uncover the pan and cook the sugar mixture until it starts to thicken.



Meanwhile, beat the egg whites to soft peaks with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and continue beating to stiff peaks. Pour the boiling sugar syrup in a thin stream into the egg whites and continue beating until the mixture is cool.



Spread meringue on cake. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

I have not tried this but I hear it is very good.
