  What is Tres Leches Cake?
  Tres leches cake is a popular Latin American dessert that's typically made with three types of milk: evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream. It's a light cake with a sweet, creamy flavor and texture that's similar to a custard. The cake is usually topped with meringue, whipped cream, cinnamon, or all three. This version of tres leches cake is made with a box cake mix that's combined with the three milks and a few other ingredients. It's a quick and easy way to enjoy this classic dessert.
