Procedure:
Step 1) Mix all the dry ingredients of Cake in a Bowl namely (Flours, baking powder, baking soda and Coffee) and keep it aside

Step 2) Beat the non dry ingredients of a cake namely (Condensed Milk , Butter and Sugar)

Step 3) Now mix all of these ingredients together and beat it till the mixture is soft and easy to pour. Add skim milk if necessary  (Only if the paste is too thick ) and beat again.

Step 4) Grease the baking pan with tsp of Oil /Butter.

Step 5) Pour the Mixture in the Pan ( We used 8 inch Diameter Round pan)

Step 6) Preheat the oven to 350F

Step 7) Put the pan in the oven to bake it for around 35 mins.

After 35 mins....

Check if the cake is ready (This varies depending on the type and power of the oven being used.)
Perform a quick test using toothpick.

Take the pan out and insert the tooth pick at the center. If you are able to remove the toothpick without the batter on it, then your cake is ready :) (yayyyy) if not then put it back in the oven for another 3-4 mins and do the test again.


For Tres Leches:
Let the cake cool for 45 mins.
Now mix the ingredients for tres leaches (namely Evaporated Milk and Skim Milk) in a bowl.

Step 8) After your cake is completely cooled, make holes (around 35 -50 holes) on the cake with bamboo skewers.

Step 9) Pour the mixture of milk on it, and let the cake absorb it.

Step 10) Cover the cake with cling film and put it inside the fridge for cooling. You need to cool it atleast for 2 hrs so that all the milk is completely absorbed

For icing:
Beat the Cream cheese and Sugar in a Bowl.
Add little vanilla essence to it.

And beat it further with light hands or on a slow speed of your hand mixie till it becomes fluffy.

Take the cake out from fridge and apply the icing on the cake using butter knife .
Make sure that you do not create crumbs or craters in the cake while applying frosting.
To prevent this, when applying frosting, make sure you complete the stroke without lifting off the knife from the cake. Try to apply single stroke of knife in one direction to apply frosting smoothly.

And now Decoration..........

After the frosting is applied on the cake, we are ready for decorations :).
Use a vegetable Peeler to shave the chocolate chips on the cake.
You can also use strainer to sprinkle coffee powder on the cake.
Cut the chocolate wafer and stick them on the side .

Tadaaaaaa and the delicious cake is ready!!!!!!!!!!!!

Try it and let us know how it turns out!!! :)
