I watch your channel Religiously and have never been let down by one of your recipes. I don't usually comment, but my Family and I sincerely thank you (and Hector) for taking the time and producing these videos (and over the top delicious foods/desserts).
Queen of Cheesecakes level * Achieved
Keep them coming! Thanks again, guys!!
We really appreciate that. It means the world to us that people appreciate the work that goes into what I do.
I hope your channel grows beyond measure! The name you chose is as creative as your dishes and personality! Love the name! You're real! Stay real in this fake, pretentious world.
I truly appreciate your words. I will remember them. Thank you.
I love your outtakes!adds a little extra umf to the authentic latin kitchen!
Girl I subscribed the moment you said tres leches cake is not made with box cake. That was it!! new subscriber. You provide quality content and you seem like such a vibe ❤
I know that's right!! So glad to have likeminded folks in my community (and people who don't think I'm mean for saying it, LOL)!
@@SenseandEdibility hi, I'm a new subscriber and I'm looking for the Puerto Rican potato salad. I left this comment on your gandules recipe. Will you make one?
@@mpgisbtsarmybaefighting2838 I’ll do my best to make a video with it but there’s a recipe on my site for it if you need it soon
You got my husband and I hollarin over here! Your whole vibe is on point! But I have two questions for you...
1. Please tell me the reason you're against Goya because I'm missing something and girlfriend needs to be informed.
2. Can you PLEASE do a vlog for Tembleque? The way you break everything down into these simple authentic steps makes my life easier! Thank you!!
I'll answer the Goya question now. I'm not a huge fan of the brand for a few reasons: they're just not that great. They pretty much have the loyalty of most Hispanic Caribbeans because it's generational, but there are plenty of other brands that taste better (even some store brands) and they're not worth the money, in my opinion. Second, they don't support Latinx food writers like they should. Most of the time they aren't willing to pay for what they're asking recipe developers to do or they hire content creators that aren't even Hispanic. Third: the CEO's comments about the Orange Guy being a blessing from God was beyond the pale. For the head of a corporation who's main source of income are Hispanics to say that about a man who threw paper towels at Puerto Ricans when they were suffering the aftermath of hurricane Maria sealed it for me.
And, yes, I will put a tembleque tutorial on my list of videos. It's takes a while to get them up, so in the meantime, here's my recipe: senseandedibility.com/tembleque-coconut-pudding-from-puerto-rico/
@@SenseandEdibility So we're on the same wave! Thank you for the confirmations!! 🙏🏼✊🏼❤ And thank you for the recipe!
@@SenseandEdibility Marta, like so many of "us" I was raised on Goya seasonings / products. Once the CEO made those ridiculous comments about the orange menace, I too dropped them and implemented a full ban on all Goya products. When able, I would love your short list of seasonings that would replace items such as Sazon, etc.
I am new to your channel. Thus far I have only watched this video and your pernil video, which was perfection and took me back home to my beautiful mother's kitchen. And they say "you can't go back home". Wrong! Food and love are the way back home. Thank you for taking me back to both. I believe I heard you say that you have a homemade adobo recipe? I will be sure to check that, and all the rest, out! Gracias Marta. Eres tremenda!
You got me when you said should not be made with cake mix and soggy lol you just got a new subscriber
So happy to have you!
Love your channel!!!! I made this cake with my sister in law for my brother's birthday! It turned out awesome! Haha😂, there's a fun story with it because we didn't have a mixer and had to improvise with a drill and a fork to whip everything 😂😂😂😂. It turned out awesome! I am learning how to cook/bake because I want to be able to share and make fun foods for friends and family 😀.
OMG!!! That is such a freakin' awesome story!!! There's a saying in the military, "Improvise, adapt, overcome." You guys rock!
Love you! Your honesty and love for cooking shines thru. Keep it coming! Your like “that favorite Titi “ that I don’t have. We watch you together ( my husband & kids). Yes, girl I want them to learn how to cook their heritage foods. Thank you for taking the time to put these videos. And yes tell us about where you grew up, your kids, your life journey that lead here and now. God bless! ❤️
I love this! Thank you for watching, Christopher, Hubby and kiddos!
This was my wife commenting Ana. Just so you know. Sorry, for any confusion!
Absolutely.... Your opening statement was TRUTH!! End of story!!! 😉😘😘
Right?! That's all we need to say on the topic! LOL!
You are just fabulous!! I just found your channel. Watched a few videos so far and will be catching up on all of them!! I absolutely love the flavors of Puerto Rican foods, and the way you go through the recipes, are so very helpful. And yes, my mouth is watering!!!! Your recipes, I'm sure, are going to become some of my "go to" favorites !!!!! Thank you !!!!
I appreciate your comment so much. It makes all of the hard work that goes into making these recipes and their videos worthwhile. Thank you!
You are quite a treasure! I watched your video on pernil last night and now I'm ready to tackle it! This beautiful tres leche cake will be my downfall, because after I make it I will close myself off from the world and devour the whole thing! Thank you for your channel!!!
Thank you for watching!
Love the extra tips !
I hope they help!
My mouth is watering! Thank you for your recipe, i agree sponge cake looks better and its coquito. So...win win!❤
I know I see a recipe with a box mix I stop watching and it got me to you I was looking at your chocolate tres leches cake it got me looking at your recipes.
I try SO hard not to be a cake snob, but I'm clearly failing at it, LOL!
Girl, you had me GOINGGG. You’re serious as can be too. I could not stop laughing at your tutorial @ like 29 seconds……. On a serious note your cake look delicious and I know it is bc I make this cake and my family loves it. It does not last long period. I make my cake “FROM SCRATCH EVERYTIME (I PROMISE I DO) I MAKE IT from scratch BC ITS A VERY EASY CAKE TO MAKE. Thanks for your tutorial and sharing your recipe for your tres leches cake… I’ll be trying out your recipe before the week is out bc I know it’s so delicious.
LOL!! I swear I don't know how to act. So glad you enjoy the cake!
Thank you for this!
My pleasure!
I'm definitely going to make this cake for Christmas! Thank you for sharing your recipe.❤🔥

Just finished making Coquito following your directions from your previous video. It's soo good! Can't wait to try it after a couple days in the fridge! This cake looks awesome also! I'll have to give it a try soon! Thanks for sharing your recipes!!
It's my pleasure! Thank you for watching and supporting. Happy holidays!
Looks very delicious! The badder looked so light and fluffy.
Yes! That fluffy batter is key to a great tres leches.
YES!!!!So true. It is not real tres leches until you do the work. Thank you,. Yum, yes ma'am I will try it. Coquito! Girl!!
Enjoy it!
I absolutely love you. You are a teacher! God bless
That means a lot to me. Thank you so much.
Love all the hints. Yo iba hacer un pastel de zanahoria para una fiesta en mi iglesia. Pero ya estoy animado a tratar su receta. ❤. Abrazos de Oregon.
Muchísimas gracias!!
Y bienvenidos!
Thank you Marta ♥️ I made your coquito for my Dominican/Puerto Rican friend & her family and they loved it. I started with making the FRESH coconut milk. Go me 😊 I bottled it and added my own label “thanks Marta!” ♥️ I followed up with this Tres Leche cake. The first sponge cake was a colossal fail 🤣 but the 2nd one turned out great. The whipped cream is to die for. I just ate a piece and WOW! Looking forward to making your other recipes.
So glad you persevered with the tres leches! Now you've got it!
Love your style and energy! Found you today and watched the roasted pork shoulder and this insanely fabulous cake. Thanks!!
Hope you enjoy!
That is absolute perfection
Thanks so much!
Chica, eres un soplo de aire fresco! Soy un nuevo suscriptor después de esa receta de pernil - y ahora está receta! Gracias por lo que haces. Aficionado de por vida!
Bienvenidos a nuestro comunidad!!
I love your work
Thank you! I appreciate your kind comment.
That was amazing to watch! Love your recipes and your humor! Thank you for sharing!!
It's my pleasure! Thank you for watching!
wow that looks delicious!!
I hope you try it out!
Your opinions on tres leches cake are the only correct ones. 😄 Loved the video! I'm thinking this would be a nice treat for el Día de Reyes. Hope mine comes out good!
I'm sure it will. Happy holidays!
I really appreciate what you do because me personally a chef should learn not only to cook, but to also bake and you do an awesome job in what you do, so keep up the good work! I wanted to ask you also if you have already your own cookbook.
I self-published a cookbook back in 2016, but it's out of print. Now I'm waiting for a publisher to find me and make me a star, LOL!
Thank you so much for this recipe and your directions. We ❤ our coquito!!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
This channel is epic. More power to you!
Thanks so much!
Master Chef Marta Felicidades 🥂 you pretty 😍 and i like your recipe of tres leches,.thank you so much for sharing your skills and thoughts about it i agree 💯 %Thank you again. Im from New Jersey Boricua 🇵🇷. God bless you 🙏 and a Happy New Year for you and family.🎉🎊🍾🥂
Thanks so much! I'm glad you liked it!
Thanks!
Thank you! You're so kind!
Ooh…daayum🤩!!!
I have to try this tres leche cake with the coquito. Looks so yummy😋
It's so good! You're going to love it!
Lmaaoo! Omggg! Your intro! 🤣🤣🤣 but i agree!! I cannot wait to try your recipe for tres leches!! Ive tried several and that all sucked! And i hate people who likes the tres leches from a fancy supermarket cuz i’m like…. That’s not authentic 😭😭😭 cuz there was so liquid, no cinnamon, 😭😭😭😭 soo i gotta show people what a true tres leches cake really is!!! 🤣😭
Yes!!! I hate it when they claim it's so amazing and it just tastes like bad decisions and regret.
Fire recipe! Made it yesterday and it received good reviews- thank you. Two quick questions:
1. I noticed that although that I poked many holes in my cake there were spots (not many) that were "dry" or not as filled with coquito as other parts were - have you noticed this at all?
2. Is there a way to make the sponge cake richer and still have it easily absorb the coquito? Maybe another egg yolk or two?
Thanks again. Subscribed.
I’m glad you enjoyed it. The way you pour the coquito and make the holes is what causes the spots of dryness. You need ensure you’re poking in a systematic way (a pattern), then pour the coquito evenly over the cake.
Adding more eggs won’t do any thing but cause it to taste eggy and it’ll be dense. Instead, you can half the coquito mixture and add more to the cake.
Hope this helps.
OMG! Tres Leche Cake beside Carrot Cake is my Favorite can you make this for me and ship it to CT 🙏,LOL
I think it would hurt you by the time it got there, LOL! You can totally bake this! I believe in you!
Girl you give life jeje
That makes me smile. Thank you!
My dairy free/gluten free/sugar free/box mix tres leches cake turned out thanks 👍😂
I literally felt sad reading that, LOL!
@@SenseandEdibility oh forgot to add egg free too because you know eggs are dairy 😂😂
You are a class act.
I appreciate that. Sometimes I can be a little Hood, though, LOL!!
Damn I can eat her food and listen to her talk all day!!!!😍
LOL! Thanks!
Now that’s delicious
So good!
That looks sooooo good ❤
It's amazing. Hope you get a chance to try it out.
My egg whites never turned peaking and I mixed for almost twenty mins what do I do?
You either had some egg yolk in there or the bowl had grease in it. Were you mixing at the proper speed? There’s captions on my videos in case you don’t catch everything I’m saying.
When did you decide to focus in on cuisine arts? This cake and your pernil look absolutely spectacular!
When I was about 13. I was already cooking for awhile and knew I was pretty good at it, so I worked in restaurants and went to a vo-tech high school with a culinary arts program before I went to culinary school. Thanks so much for the kind words, too!
I have a question. I am getting my feet wet when it comes to baking anything and this will be the second time I'm going to make this awesome cake! And my math is horrible lol. I'm making 3 cakes, one with rum, one with rum flavor, and the other without alcohol. They are going to be 3 individual cakes. I'm figuring that I can take this cake recipe and put them in 3 separate molds. What size molds would you suggest? And would you suggest making 3 separate coquito mixtures so that they can be equally moist? I just worry that if I make the one coquito mixture and take a little bit to make the rum flavor cake, and the no alcohol cake, the cakes won't be moist enough.
Honestly, if you're new to baking, you should make these as three separate cakes. Don't try to combine the batter, just make cake one (as is) and move on to cakes 2 and 3 separately. That's the best way to guarantee nothing goes awry.
😍😍😍
did anyone tell you look like carmen meranda
Noooo. I don't have fruit on my head, LOL!
KEEP COOKING I WISH YOU CAN SEND ME PASTELS
Can all purpose flour be used? Is there a difference between all purpose flour and cake flour?
There is a difference, yes. All-purpose has a higher protein content which means it will become tough if it’s over mixed. You can make cake flour by taking 1 level up of all-purpose flour. Remove 2 level tablespoons from that cup of flour and replace it with 2 level cups of cornstarch. Sift this together and you’ll have 1 cup of cake flour.
@@SenseandEdibility ooo! Thank you! I honestly didn't know that there was a difference! Last time I made these cakes my friends loved them, but I did notice they were slightly on the tougher side and I remember using all purpose flour then. They honestly were great other than being on the tough side. I found some Cake flour this time, and I'm excited to see how they turn out this time! Thank you!!!
@@nehielrivera6563 you’re welcome! Be careful not to over-mix or over-bake the batter/cake and it should be light and fluffy.
Are any adjustments necessary for the cake for high altitude? Cakes from scratch are usually a whole different animal at high altitude. It doesn't rise, which would be problematic especially with sponge cakes.
Most of the time what causes issues in rise at altitude is the amount of leavener in the cake batter. Since there's no chemical leaveners here, the only issue I can see would be the amount of flour or sugar would need adjusting. Since I haven't developed or tested the recipe for high altitude baking (since I physically can't). I would say to make the recipe as is.
What is your sign? I love the genuinity
I’m an August Leo 🤣🤣🤣
Truth. Cake from scratch.
It's the only way!
The very first time I made tres leches it was with box mix and it was toooooo sweet 🤢 and mushy. Nope. This cake needs to be from scratch and a little bit more egg based so that it gets structure. Thank you fir this recipe.
I can't eat most tres leches for that reason. I think you'll enjoy this version a way more.
Hi. Can it be regular flour
Yes you can use regular flour, but keep in mind it may not be as tender as you'd want.
🤤
Yep!
I love desserts🤤 but... tres leches 🍰is not friendly with my stomach,
😬 tried it twice no más🤣
Have you tried it using just coconut milk and sweetened condensed coconut milk? No dairy!
Did you say 15 or 50 mins bake?
15. The full recipe is linked below, too:
Cake, coquito its all good and dandy but rather drink some mamajuana
And talk to the spirits.
😅
Feel free to do that while we eat cake, LOL!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣😂🤣
Why couldn't I have married you... I married a white girl and now im on here looking how to make this stuff myself... I just cant win...
You called your wife a White Girl??
Aren’t you the racist!
Azzzclan if she wants to agree with you and file a complaint, i welcome her to do that. Lets wait to see how that works out for you muffin... i just called you a muffin, ill wait to see how you respond muffin....muffin.....lol
@@kgc1911lmao!!!! These people have no idea what the word “racist” means. They just say these things to shut you up. I never thought I’d live in a world where if you called someone by their ETHNICITY, then you’d be accused of being racist 😒🤦🏾♀️
DarkEmpress81 exactly, my 23andme says im 1% spanish and Portuguese, does that mean i cant call myself spanish cause its only 1% or does that count? Im mixed black and white, does that mean im racist against half myself? Lol... its pure craziness these days. Im on here to compliment the wonderful cook on how great her recipe is and im met with a muffin that is worried about what i call my wife lol...
You wouldn't want to be married to me because I'd hem you up talking about me on TH-cam, LOL!!!! No, but I'm sure you can cook everything you love just fine and she can help. Enjoy!
😂❤
🥰

LOL!! Back in the day our parents would have us MAKING the drinks. Now I'm over here telling my 17 y/o kids not to even look at the wine room.
