Good morning Gorgeous Gems,
We grew up eating Tres Leches for special occasions just like in most Latin American households, and it wasn’t until my formal co-worker from Russia asked me if I knew how to make it that it sparked an interest to attempt to. On and on she went about how it is her favorite cake and because I took it for granted of course I had never tried in the past. Well of course the right time never came along, so this year I made it a priority to learn how to before Cinco de Mayo, and boy was it a success my husband loved it (and he is not easily pleased).
At first I thought I over baked it because of the color when I flipped it.
The three milks combined hence why it is called “Tres Leches.”
I would say the whip cream is thick enough!
The cake was extremely moist and the three milks spread evenly. Don’t you just love it when first attempts are a success? With that being said I will continue on with the tradition of enjoying this delicacy of a cake for future occasions (next time I am adding rum).
Now please excuse me while I enjoy my lovely piece of cake.
Almost forgot the essential ingredients and recipe can be found here.
Hope you give it a try as it so worth the effort,
Monica
