Let's have Cake!

Tres Leches Cake
(made easy)
Mmm, Mmm, Mmmm! I love this yummy Latin American sweet treat, and although I've made it from scratch, and it's great, here is a simple and easy recipe that works wonderfully and is deeee-lish!
It's requested often by family members for their Birthdays here at the Kelly-Trevino household!

1 Cake mix (yellow or white)

1 can evaporated milk

1 can sweetened condensed milk

1 can Nestle Mexican table Cream (Crema) if you can't find this you can use heavy cream instead

Make cake in 9 x 13" pan according to directions on the box.

Heat all 3 milks together in a sauce pan, and bring to a scald. Let cool.

Once cake and milks are cooled, poke holes throughout the cake w/ a fork.

Slowly pour or spoon the cooled milk mixture evenly over the cake.

Refrigerate for about an hour or so until all the milk is good and absorbed.

Frost cake w/ Real Whipped Cream and refrigerate several hours or overnight.

**I like to use real whipping cream, just very slightly sweetened as the cake is already sweet enough*


Enjoy!

  2. Delicious. Have you tried a Smith Island Cake. It is the Maryland State official desert. It only has 10 to 12 layers.
