"With its enchanting pink color and colorful tiny round sprinkles, cortadillo, or Mexican pink cake, is a favorite among Mexican children and adults alike. But while you might be drawn in by the pretty frosting, the real reason you should be trying this cake is its rich crumb and layered creamy milky flavor, courtesy of the four types of milk used in its preparation. Mexican cuisine is known for fiery salsas, savory stews, crispy tostadas, and a selection of simple, sweet desserts known commonly as pan dulce, or sweet bread."
"All you need to make this cake is a handheld mixer, and four types of milk. We've drawn inspiration from the famous Mexican tres leches cake, and utilized condensed and evaporated milk, as well as buttermilk and cream to make this cake extra moist and flavorful. Don't skimp on that pink food coloring, and enjoy your dip into the taste of Mexican childhood."
Cortadillo is a Mexican pink sheet cake characterized by a moist, rich crumb and creamy, layered milky flavor. The cake incorporates four milks—sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, buttermilk, and heavy cream—to achieve extra moisture and flavor, inspired by tres leches. The assembled cake is finished with a creamy pink frosting made from heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk, then decorated with colorful tiny round sprinkles. Basic pantry ingredients and a handheld mixer suffice for preparation. Bake in a greased 9x13-inch pan at 350°F. Pink food coloring enhances the nostalgic appearance.
