The recipe for Tres Leches Cake must be one of the best kinds of cake in the world! Or just because I’m a big fan of sweetened condensed milk and cream, I’m biassed, so you get both of them in this cake. Now is the time to make it if you have never had a Tres Leches Cake! It’s a perfectly rich, sweet, wonderful cake, and it’s going to be a crowd-pleaser for sure!
Tips for This Recipe
1. In place of all-purpose flour, choose cake flour for a better texture and absorption.
2. Do not skip the soaking time for 12 hours, otherwise, the cake won’t be the same.
3. This cake is always best served well chilled, and it is necessary to refrigerate that milk anyway.
4. For even more perfection, top with fresh strawberries or cinnamon.
