Easy Tres Leches Cake image

I wanted to make a simple, quick Tres Leches cake for my family. Too many recipes I'd found called for fruit, or meringue, or coconut -- which detracts from the rich milk flavor.

Time 45m

Yield 1 cake, 15-18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (18 1/4 ounce) box white cake mix
4 large eggs
1 1/4 cups water
1 cup heavy cream
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
whipped cream

Steps:

  • Preheat over to 350ยบ.
  • Grease or "pam" 9x12 baking pan.
  • Beat eggs in a large bowl.
  • Add water and cake mix and beat 3 minutes.
  • Pour batter into pan.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, or until cake has lost its jiggly center and springs back when touched.
  • Let cool to room temperature.
  • Mix the 3 milks.
  • Poke cake full of holes. A chopstick works great for this. Don't skimp on the holes; that's what allows the cake to absorb the milks.
  • Pour the milk mixture over the cake slowly, until it's absorbed the liquid.
  • Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Serve as desired. If you're serving company, you might cover the cake with whipped cream and fruit; you might just drizzle heavy cream over each serving; you might puree a carton of frozen strawberries and use that as a base to serve slices on.
