Ingredients
For this tres leches recipe you will need:
- 1 box of yellow cake mix
- 3 cans of sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can of evaporated milk
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup of butter, melted
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 cup of water
Instructions
Prepare the Cake
The first step in making this tres leches recipe is to prepare the cake. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray. Combine the cake mix, melted butter, water and eggs in a large bowl and mix until just combined. Pour the cake batter into the prepared dish and spread it evenly with a spatula. Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely.
Prepare the Tres Leches Sauce
While the cake is cooling, prepare the tres leches sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Assemble the Cake
When the cake has cooled, use a fork to poke holes all over the top of the cake. This will help the tres leches sauce to absorb into the cake. Slowly pour the tres leches sauce over the top of the cake, making sure to cover it evenly. Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
Serve the Cake
When you are ready to serve the cake, remove it from the refrigerator and top with your favorite toppings. Whipped cream, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of cinnamon are all great options. Enjoy!
