Is this one of those newsgroups where you can request a recipe and
somebody will post their recipe?

on the travel channel, and he maid a Tres Letcha Cake and said "if you
would like a copy of the recipe simply go to epicurios.com and get it",
will I never could find it.

Well anyway, if anybody has a rcipe for this cake would you please post it?

If it happens I'll say thank you in advance.

Thanks

PASTEL DE TRES LECHES
Pastel de tres leches is a traditional Nicaraguan Celebration Cake usually
reserved for the holiday season. In this recipe we preserve the traditional
presentation, and add some typical American holiday flavors.
The cake is composed of four components: Sponge Cake, Rum Milk Syrup,
Meringue, and Cranberry Compote.





Sponge Cake
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
4 eggs, separated
1 1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup milk
Rum Milk Syrup
1 can evaporated milk (12 oz.)
1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz.)
1 can heavy cream (use empty can from condensed milk - 1 1/4 cups)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons dark spiced rum (Meyers or Captain Morgan will do), optional

Meringue
4 egg whites
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water

Cranberry Compote
2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
1 cup walnut halves (or pieces)
1 cup golden raisins
1 cup water
1/2 cup light brown sugar
4 cloves
1 cinnamon stick
1 tablespoon cornstarch (diluted in just enough cold water to make a slurry)





For Sponge Cake:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour cake pan, and line with parchment
paper. Sift flour with baking powder and cinnamon. Using a standing mixer
with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites until frothy, then slowly add
sugar to tighten whites to semi stiff peaks. Add yolks one at a time.
Alternate adding the flour mixture and the milk.
Pour batter into pan and bake for about 40 minutes or until the middle
springs back when touched and edges pull slightly away from pan. Cool
thoroughly on a wire rack.

For Rum Milk Syrup:
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Whip thoroughly with a wire whisk
and reserve. (If made in advance, refrigerate and stir before using.)

For Meringue:
In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water, and bring to boil. When water
begins to boil, begin whipping egg whites using a standing mixer with the
whisk attachment.

When sugar reaches the soft ball stage on a candy thermometer, keep the egg
whites mixing on slow speed, and steadily pour sugar into the side of the
bowl (keeping it away from the whisk). Increase the speed to high, and whip
until cool (5 minutes or less). Meringue should be smooth and shiny.
Reserve.

For Cranberry Compote:
In a saucepan, combine all ingredients except cornstarch. Bring to boil,
then reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, until the fruits are
tender.

While stirring rapidly, add the cornstarch slurry, and allow the mixture to
boil rapidly for one minute. Remove from heat, and remove the spices. Cool
thoroughly and reserve.

To Assemble:
Unmold cake while slightly warm, and slice off the hard top with a serrated
knife. Place cake on serving platter and spoon rum syrup over cake a little
at a time, until it is all absorbed, repeat until all the syrup is used. Ice
the top of the cake with the meringue. Refrigerate until cool. Top with the
compote or slice and serve it alongside the cake.

Makes 1 10x3-inch cake.

It's spelled Tres Leche (3 milks) cake, and, although I didn't look it
up on epicurious, spelling it correctly woud probably make it show up
on their site. Or do a google search for variations, and, compare.

Aah yes! the "Pastel De... " that'll get ya' everytime.
Of course, unless he actually said, "pastel de tres leches", I can see
how one could get frustrated searching for it on the website. kev

Nope, that's rec.food.recipes although I haven't been there in years.

You won't thank me for advice, I'm afraid. It's in poor taste to
complain about somebody's spelling, but I'll have to warn you that if
you ask a computer for something and you don't spell it right, you won't
get a good response. I went to:

http://www.epicurious.com/

and asked for:

tres leches

and got a nice recipe.

That's a lovely recipe, but with one exception. What size/kind of cake
pan do you use? The recipe simply says "cake pan", but doesn't specify
the size. It says the finished cake is 10"x3", but that doesn't help
either. I have 8" and 9" square cake pans, but that won't get you a
10x3 cake.

Any suggestions?

This is one of those recipes that every baker and every family have
their own version. After checking out a few, it's amazing how vaired
they are. Some people vary with spice, some with fruit, some with milk,
substituting coconut milk for one of the milks. There's also a 'quatro
leche' cake on the google search which uses 4 milks.The list of
variations seems to be endless. Hope you find one you like.

Try: http://tinyurl.com/eyoh3
for a bunch of recipes and sites. I didn't find it on epicurious, either.

BTW, you spelled both epicurious and tres leches cake wrong.
It's hard to navigate online under those circumstances.
