Tres Leches (Three-Milk Cake) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    8 large eggs
    1 1/2 cups sugar
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 tablespoon baking powder
    1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
    1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
    1 cup milk
    1/4 cup Kahlua (or strong coffee)
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    lightly sweetened softly whipped cream
    sliced strawberry
Preparation
    In a large bowl, with a mixer on high speed (use whip attachment if available), beat eggs and sugar until thick and pale yellow, 5 to 6 minutes.
    In a small bowl, mix flour and baking powder.
    With mixer on medium speed, gradually add flour mixture in small increments and beat until smooth.
    Scrape batter into a buttered 9 by 13 inch baking pan.
    Bake in a 325 degree oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes.
    Meanwhile, in a blender, whirl condensed milk, evaporated milk, regular milk, Kahlua, and vanilla until well blended.
    Pour evenly over hot cake; let cool about 15 minutes, then cover and chill until cake has absorbed all the milk mixture, at least 3 hours, or up to 1 day.
    Cut cake into squares or rectangles, lift out with a wide spatula, and set on plates.
    Top each piece of cake with a spoonful of whipped cream and garnish with strawberries.
