Tres Leches Cake (Easy)

"My honduran fiance loves when I make this easy version of Spanish 3 milk cake-Tres Leche Cake. It's a favorite among family & friends. Popular in Mexican & Honduran cultures. I got this recipe from a Mexican lady after my boyfriend bought one for me years ago & I loved it. I have found this recipe works well with store brands, too. The only problem I've ever had with it - it goes so fast!"

directions

  • Bake cake as directed on box.
  • While cake is cooking, mix together 1 can sweetened condensed milk, 1 can evaporated milk, & 1 cup whole milk with a whisk. Set aside.
  • When cake is finished cooking, use the end of a wooden spoon to poke holes in the cake. Whisk your milk mixture once again, and pour slowly over the entire cake. Put the cake in the fridge for 4 hours to set flavors.
  • After 4 hours, make your whipped topping by mixing together the vanilla, milk & whipped topping mix. Use mixer for 4 minutes. When topping is ready, spread over cake.
  • To top it off, drain & rinse 9-12 cherries. Dry each cherry off, so the juice doesn't run in the topping. Put dry cherries on top of cake in rows of 3 or 4.
  • This makes a beautiful cake. Must be kept refridgerated. You can use various flavors of cake mix. Many people love to put sweetened coconut in the whipped topping. You can also make a lower fat version by choosing low sugar cake mix, fat free sweetened condensed milk, fat free evaporated milk, & skim milk.
  • Enjoy!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am passionate about my husband & 2 boys. I enjoy making Honduran foods, as that is where my husband is from. But, my real passion is making easy recipes, that don't look easy. I especially enjoy baking for my family. I am known for my "Tres Leche Cake" which is a spanish 3 milk cake. My fav restaurant is, of course, Texas Roadhouse, which is well known for it's homemade sides, fresh baked bread & hand cut steaks. I may be partial as I am the Local Store Marketing Coordinator for Texas Roadhouse.
