Ingredients

  1. 500 grams(about 3 1/3 cups) sponge cake mix (any brand for tres leches cakes)
  2. 200 ml(about 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon) cold water
  3. 200 ml(about 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon) eggs (about 4 large eggs)
  4. For the frosting:
  5. 2 blockscream cheese
  6. 1 stickunsalted butter
  7. 1–2 cups powdered sugar (to taste)
  8. 1 tablespoonvanilla extract
  9. For the milks:
  10. 1 canevaporated milk
  11. 1 cancondensed milk
  12. 1 cantable cream (or substitute with 1 cup whole milk)
  13. Optional: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  14. Fruit of your choice

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

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

  2. 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. 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. 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!
