Easy Tres Leches Cake Recipe
Tres leches cake, or three milks cake, is popular in Latin American cooking. Ever since my kids first tried tres tres leches cake in a Latin American restaurant they begged me to try to duplicate it at home.I don't know if this recipe tastes authentic, but it is wonderfully moist and delicious. Plus, it's a super easy tres leches cake, because it starts with a cake mix.
