Tres Leches (Spanish for 3 Milks) is a dense, incredibly moist Sponge Cake that is soaked in a mixture of 3 different kinds of Milks. The Cake is then typically topped with Whipped Cream and sometimes garnished with fresh Berries or a Dulce de Leche drizzle.
While Tres Leches is the widely recognised Latin American name for a light, airy Sponge Cake soaked in a mixture of evaporated, condensed milks and heavy cream. The term 'Milk Cake' is simply the literal English translation often used to describe the exact same delicious Dessert.

Unlike traditional Cakes, a Tres Leches sponge is typically made without heavy Butter or Oil. And instead relying more on whisked Eggs for it's rise and light texture. The 3 different milk mix gives the Cake it's soft special texture that just melts in your mouth. It's the most simplest and the easiest Dessert that can be whipped up on special occasions and festivals. I treated my family and friends with this super moist, beautiful looking sponge cake on Bakra Eid. The traditional Sheer Khurma wasn't made due to the hot weather. And instead chose this and other baked Desserts for the Eid celebrations.

Enjoy Cooking with Zeen!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
