Mighty milk with tres leches cake

Tres Leches Cake, three milk, or sometimes four milk, soaked cake, is a Latin dessert staple that is comparatively new to food culture.

This rich sponge cake is made with sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, entire milk and sometimes, heavy cream and is similar to the Italian dessert, tiramisu, in that both are liquid-filled, layered sponge cakes, softly iced. Most tres leches cake isn’t soaked in alcohol, but somewhat, milk.

The induction of the tres leches cake to the pantheon of delicious desserts might have come after WWII when Nestle set up an operational plant in Mexico.
