Red Velvet Cake (Different) image

I know there are many, many recipes on this site for red velvet cake but have not found one like this. Actually it reminds me of a tres leches cake. I have not tried it and would love to get feedback. I think it came from an old church cookbook in Kingston, Ontario.
