Tres Leches Cake possesses a smooth, ultra-moist crumb. It is filled with a mixture of (3) milk (whole milk, condensed milk, and evaporated milk) and overlaid with heavy whipped cream. It is an authentic recipe from Tres Leches Cake and the best we’ve tried. It beats every store-bought edition during the day.

We love the plain, crowd-pleasing desserts that come together in a casserole dish like the classic Tiramisu, our famous Strawberry Pretzel Salad, and of course, this fast Tres Leches Cake. They ‘re easy to make and great to bring to parties and potlucks. This recipe is the first one to disappear during events, and my niece and nephews are excited about this cake. Try this recipe for Tres Leches (Milk Cake), and enjoy it with your loved ones.
