If it stays firm and holds it shaped, almost bounces back, your cake is done. -You can also insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If comes out with a few moist crumbs on it.

Trés Leches Milk:INGREDIENTS: 1 (14 oz) Can of Sweetened Condensed Milk 1/2 (7 oz) Can of Evaporated Milk 1/2 (7 oz) Cold 2% Milk INSTRUCTIONS: -Pour all three types of milk together and mix. Homemade Whipped CreamINGREDIENTS:
1 Cup cold heavy whipping cream 1/2 Cup powdered sugar 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract INSTRUCTIONS: Whip heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed in mixer with whisk attachment until medium peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Medium peaks are between soft/loose peaks and stiff peaks and are the perfect consistency. If you over-mix your whipped cream will become lumpy and fall apart. So watch it closely while it is mixing.
