Tres leches cake is a delicious dessert from Latin America, particularly Mexico. It literally translates to “three milks cake” which perfectly describes its key component. These three milks are Evaporated milk, Condensed milk, and whole milk. This soaking process infuses the cake with rich flavor and an incredibly moist, melt-in-your-mouth texture. Tres leches cake is then typically finished with a topping of whipped cream, and sometimes strawberries or a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra touch.
