tres leches cake
Milk-drenched Latin dessert
Tres leches cake is a Latin American sponge cake soaked in three kinds of milk—typically evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and heavy cream.
The cake absorbs the mixture until saturated, creating a dense, moist texture.
Usually topped with whipped cream and served chilled: My grandmother's tres leches cake was the highlight of every birthday party.
