Our Cinco de Mayo treat this year. It's not authentic, but it is quick and easy to make and so delicious.

Steps

1

Prepare your cake mix according to the package directions. Bake in a greased 9x13" pan according to the box directions (mine was 350°F for 32 mins) until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean. Run a knife around the edges to loosen them from the pan sides and use a fork to poke holes all over the top. Then set the pan on a cooling rack and let it come to room temperature.
2

In a bowl, whisk together the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk and whole or 2% (fill the evaporated milk can with whole or 2% milk for the right amount). Pour the milk mixture over the top of the cake. Cover the pan with foil or plastic wrap and place it in the fridge to chill for a few hours.
3

When ready to serve, spread the cool whip over the top evenly, then slice into squares.

I love to bake and to try out new recipes! I'm always on the lookout for simple dinners for busy weeknights. A lot of the recipes I post on here are ones I've found on Pinterest or from different bloggers, and that I've tried and really enjoyed, but I always reference to where I got the recipe from in the recipe description and the pictures are my own. If there's no source listed, then it's a rare recipe that I came up with. I have two wonderful kids and I hope to pass on my love of cooking and baking to them.
