Steps

1

Use any sponge cake mix made for tres leches cakes and follow the package instructions.
2

Once the cake is baked, let it cool. When it’s cool, poke holes all over the cake with a fork or knife so it can absorb the three milks, but don’t go all the way through.
3

Pour the three-milk mixture over the cake and let it rest in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. It’s very important to refrigerate so the cake absorbs the milks and gets the best flavor, and it will also be easier to decorate.
4

After a few hours, you can fill the cake with your favorite fruit. I used canned peaches and walnuts, and decorated with cream cheese frosting. Here’s a great tip: the longer it stays in the refrigerator, the better the flavor!
