It has been a long week, sick kids, lots of work, mountains of laundry, etc. Well, not more complaining. It’s Friday… YAY!! Even though, that does not mean the laundry will magically disappear (yikes!). Today, as a Friday treat, we are going to indulge our sweet tooth, and what a better way than a Tres Leches Cake. This is my all-time FAVORITE dessert. This recipe was passed on to me by my sister, the family expert on sweets. Every time we have a major event that requires a spectacular cake, like Victoria’s Baptism or Matthew’s birthday, my sister connects via Skype and we do the recipe together. Have I ever mentioned how difficult it is to have my family so far? I think so! It is really hard but thanks goodness for modern technology that unites us and shortens distances… OKAY! That sounded like a commercial but I promise this is not a paid post hahaha. Back to sweet business! This cake is AMAZING, so sweet, creamy and smooth, you won’t believe it. It’s very easy to make. Every time I have to bring in my food contribution to a potluck this is my first choice. Everyone knows I’ll bring a Tres Leches, and they love it! I used to make this cake in a 13-inch baking dish, but on this occasion, I used a 9×9 square pan, just because I wanted to show off my beautiful new enamel baker (this is a consequence of my prop addiction). It came out a bit thick for my taste. This is just a personal preference. The taste and texture were perfect.
Enjoy!!!!
This is not an eggless recipe! This is the recipe that I used to make before my daughter was diagnosed with egg and nuts allergies. If you’re looking for eggless recipes, click here to browse.
