Tres leches (Balkan Version)

This is a recipe I have been doing for nearly 10 years.
The exact origins of the tres leches cake can be traced back to 19th century Mexico, where soaked cakes and sponges were a tradition however for the Balkan Tres Leche one theory is that the popularity of Latin American soap operas in Albania led local chefs to reverse-engineer the dessert, which then spread to Turkey.

The first time I tried this cake was about ten years ago while on vacation in Mexico, at my grandmother’s house. It’s a well-known recipe in Mexico and in several other Latin American countries as well. We make it for special occasions, or for my father’s birthday when he’s feeling nostalgic for his homeland.Video: http://www.mis-recetas.org/video/show/839-tre-leches LauraTranslated from Cookpad Spain -

I found this recipe on 'Quiero Cupcakes' and have made it several times. It's absolutely delicious. Even though it's called Tres Leches Cake, it's really more like a sponge cake soaked in milk—just not in alcohol, haha. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do at home.
