Instructions

For tres leches cake

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour one 9x13 inch baking pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and 1 cup of sugar together until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture 2 tablespoons at a time, mixing well after each addition. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
4. Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely.
5. In a large bowl, combine the whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, and evaporated milk. Once the cake has cooled, poke holes all over the top with a fork. Pour the milk mixture over the cake, making sure to cover the entire surface. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
6. In another large bowl, whip the heavy cream, 1 cup of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until thick. Spread over the top of the refrigerated cake.

For churros

1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the water, butter, and salt. Bring to a boil and remove from heat. Stir in the flour until the mixture forms a ball.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. Add the eggs to the flour mixture, stirring until well combined.
3. In a shallow dish, mix together the sugar and cinnamon.
4. In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
5. Spoon the dough into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Squeeze strips of dough into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
6. Toss the churros in the cinnamon sugar mixture while they are still warm. Serve with your choice of dipping sauce, such as chocolate or caramel.

For flan

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 cup of sugar. Stir constantly until the sugar melts and turns a golden-brown color. Quickly pour the melted sugar into a 9 inch round baking dish, swirling to coat the bottom evenly.
3. In a large bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract until well combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
4. Place the baking dish in a larger baking pan filled with 1 inch of hot water. Bake for 50 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. Let the flan cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. To serve, run a knife around the edges of the dish and invert onto a serving plate.
