Pumpkin Tres Leches Cake

Servings:

My birthday is at the end of October, and this pumpkin tres leches cake is my absolute favorite birthday cake. It is not soupy but extremely moist and delicious. I poke the holes with a straw, and my daughter uses a pencil; both work well. Make it the day before so it can absorb the three milks.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. 2 Make cake: Beat together sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add pumpkin, sour cream, and vanilla while the mixer is running.
  3. 3 Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger in a medium bowl. Add 1/2 of the flour mixture to pumpkin batter and mix until well combined. Add remaining flour mixture to batter and mix on medium-high speed for 2 minutes more. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.
  4. 4 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes. Remove cake from the oven and let cool for 15 to 20 minutes.
  5. 5 Meanwhile, make tres leches: Mix together evaporated milk, half-and-half, and sweetened condensed milk in a medium bowl until well combined. Set aside.
  6. 6 Poke a generous amount of holes into cake using a drinking straw, making sure to get the corners and sides as well. Pour tres leches mixture over cake, cover with plastic wrap, and cool in the refrigerator for 1 hour to overnight.
  7. 7 Add topping: Frost the top of cooled cake with whipped topping and sprinkle with cinnamon.
