CAKE WITH EVAPORATED MILK RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 350°. Lightly grease a 13x9" baking dish with unsalted butter and dust with all-purpose flour, tapping out excess.
• Heat ¾ cup whole milk and 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium, stirring occasionally, until butter is melted, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
• Beat 3 large eggs in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on low speed until combined. Increase speed to medium and gradually add 1¼ cups (250 g) sugar; mix until combined. Increase speed to medium-high and beat until mixture is pale, glossy, and doubled in volume, about 3 minutes. Remove bowl from stand mixer and sift in 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour, 1½ tsp. baking powder, and ¾ tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt. Using a rubber spatula, fold until flour is mostly incorporated. Add milk mixture and stir gently until just incorporated (don’t overmix). Scrape batter into prepared baking dish and smooth top if needed.
• Bake cake until top is golden brown and springs back when gently pressed, 25–30 minutes. Let cool in pan 15 minutes.
• While the cake is cooling, heat 3 cups whole milk, 1 tsp. saffron threads, and ¼ tsp. kosher salt in a medium saucepan over medium until steaming and creamy yellow in color. Remove from heat and stir in one 14-oz. can sweetened condensed milk and one 12-oz. can evaporated milk until smooth and combined. Set aside 1½ cups saffron milk for serving; chill until ready to use.
• Using a toothpick, poke holes in cake at 1" intervals. Pour remaining saffron milk evenly over cake. Chill cake, uncovered, at least 1 hour and up to 12 hours (4 hours is ideal).
• Meanwhile, beat 2 cups chilled heavy cream, 3 Tbsp. sugar, and ¼ tsp. kosher salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
• Cut cake into 12 pieces and serve topped with 2 Tbsp. reserved saffron milk and a generous dollop of whipped cream. Scatter ¼ cup finely chopped raw pistachios over, dividing evenly.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly oil and flour a 13 by 9-inch metal pan and set aside.
• Whisk together the cake flour, baking powder and salt in a medium mixing bowl and set aside.
• Place the butter into the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the paddle attachment, beat on medium speed until fluffy, approximately 1 minute. Decrease the speed to low and with the mixer still running, gradually add the sugar over 1 minute. Stop to scrape down the sides of the bowl, if necessary. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and mix to thoroughly combine. Add the vanilla extract and mix to combine. Add the flour mixture to the batter in 3 batches and mix just until combined. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and spread evenly. This will appear to be a very small amount of batter. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the cake is lightly golden and reaches an internal temperature of 200 degrees F.
• Remove the cake pan to a cooling rack and allow to cool for 30 minutes. Poke the top of the cake all over with a skewer or fork. Allow the cake to cool completely and then prepare the glaze.
• Whisk together the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk and the half-and-half in a 1-quart measuring cup. Once combined, pour the glaze over the cake. Refrigerate the cake overnight.;
• Topping:
• Place the heavy cream, sugar and vanilla into the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the whisk attachment, whisk together on low until stiff peaks are formed. Change to medium speed and whisk until thick. Spread the topping over the cake and allow to chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.;
