think the one main thing that I do differently with my tres leches cake that makes
it stand out for most people is that I don’t entirely soak the cake with the
milk mixture. When I slice the cake I pour some of the reserved milk mixture into a
shallow serving bowl and place the slice of cake into the bowl and top it with
the home-made whipped cream then the fruit. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

cake also makes a beautiful presentation as a whole cake when you mound the
whipped cream onto the top of the cake like a cloud and put the fresh fruit
onto it!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Amaze","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">The
only differences to this recipe for high altitudes is the drastic
reduction in the amount of baking powder, (as noted above) because if you use
the <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>amount of baking powder called for originally
in this recipe it will rise too quickly at higher altitudes which will cause it
to <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>fall. Also, cakes are more prone to
stick to the baking pan at higher altitudes. I simply make sure to grease the baking pan really well with
vegetable shortening before I flour it and when I’m ready to remove the cake from the pan I run a
spatula first around the sides of the cake and then after I remove the side of
the spring form pan I run the spatula all around the bottom of the cake to be
sure to loosen it from the bottom of the pan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Well, that's because it's activated twice: 1st, when you add liquid, and 2nd, when heat is applied. So what does this mean you ask? It means that after you've mixed the wet ingredients into the dry and you have kneaded the dough, (ever so gently) and you've cut the biscuits out and they are in the greased pan, now, let them sit for about 15 minutes before you put them into the oven, they will rise. Letting them rise before you bake your biscuits will result in bigger, fluffier and more tender biscuits!</span></div>
</div>
<div style="border: currentColor; text-align: justify;">
<div style="border: currentColor;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Most recipes never say that, so if you're like me you've followed that recipe as it was written and then wonder why your biscuits are not as big and fluffy as those at your favorite restaurant. Try it!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">I didn't show it because both my hands were covered with biscuit dough and flour, but to knead the biscuit dough you simply fold it in half and then turn it and fold in half again.
