Are there any lemmings who can recommend a good tres leches recipe? I’ve never had one, so I don’t really know what to look for.
I’ve had a look online and I’ve pretty much only been able to find recipes that have quantities in imperial measurements. For most things thats not a problem, but I have no idea how to covert solid metrics into volumetric and vice versa (eg. butter in TSP and flour in cups)
Closest I’ve been able to find is this one from a UK supermarket, but it looks as dense as a neutron star. My understanding is that these things are meant to be as moist as anything.
Can someone please share one that they’ve tried, liked and can vouch is authentic (also with metric measurements)
Here’s a cheat sheet for imperial measurements to weight. https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/learn/ingredient-weight-chart
For recipes I’d highly suggest Martha Stewart’s Tres Leches cake, it’s my wife’s go to and her 92 year old Mexican grampa asks for it on his birthday every year.
Thank you for sharing the conversion chart. I don’t know how much I can trust these, though. For normal cooking, sure. But for baking? I’d rather have a repeatable measurement.
Take for example the blueberries in that chart. 1 cup can range from 140 to 170. 30 grams can really fuck up your cake by either being too wet or too dry. If you give me a weight measurement, it doesnt matter what size my berries happen to be, the result will always be the same.
