This cake has its origin from Mexico, Central America and Latin America. It’s a cake soaked in milk and cream. A very simple and delicious way of having a cake. Milk here makes this cake more yummy than you expect. Baking this cake is easy, like any regular one. Only thing is I have made a chocolate flavoured one, which is more preferred in the house. I have made my way of tres leche with preferred flavours.
Why the name Tres leche?
This recipe requires three( tres is three) types of milk in it. Whole milk, condensed milk and evaporated milk. So the name
How to serve?
Cut a square piece of the cake, place it on a plate and pour in the three milk mixture as desired around the cake, enjoy it as when you wish to.
This cake lasts for 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator, best dessert for your guests at home. Making them a day before if you have a party or get together.
Once the bake is baked it is poked with a fork to have enough holes, so that the milk gets soaked well till the base.
Let’s just get the recipe now
