cake
- 18 ounces white cake mix
- 3 eggs
- 1⁄2 cup milk
- 1⁄3 cup oil

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!

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.
