Lusious Tres Leches Cake

Do you need a lusicous soft cake recipe? Do you love sweets but only when they are dense and full of creamy goodness? well then you must be like me and this recipe must be for you.  Let me first tell you what tres leches cake means. A cake which is soaked in Tres leches which means three milks in latin. These three milks that the cake is trenched in lends its sweet dense undescribable softness to the cake as well as sweeetness! It is yummy and so nice, everyone loved it and was asking me for the recipe, infact its so easy i think i don't deserve so much praise because its so simple!! ok let me show you how to make this delicious masterpeice. It freezes well and can keep it in the fridge for 2 days. Enjoy it.

Cake:


1 box vanilla cake mix

2/3 Cup milk

3 tablespoons of softened butter

3 eggs

Milk syrup:

1 can condensed milk

1 can evaporated milk

1 and 1/2 cup of heavy cream or half and half



Steps:

Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Place cake ingredients in a bowl. Mix with electric beaters or wooden spoon ( i used a spoon). Grease a rectangle baking pan with butter or shortening. Place the cake mixture in it. Spin the pan around to release air bubbles. Bake in oven for 25 minutes or until golden and the center comes clean when poked with a knife. In a separate bowl mix the milk syrup ingredients and stir.



Once cake is ready and cooled off poke the cake all over with fork. then pour the syrup on top. Allow it to soak and refrigerate for 4-6 hours. Slice and decorate with fine shredded coconut or if you like whipped cream and strawberries.

  6. ohhh tres leches cake is yummmy! I will mention though, that the traditional cake is a more dense cake that you then soak in the tres leches. the denser cake will absorb more of it.

    I have made it with cake mix too and its still delicious but cake mix cake is a lot more airy so it does come out a bit different in texture. But like I said, it is still delicious!
