I have tried 3 Tres Leches Cake recipes and this is the best one by far! It uses a sponge cake base and works the best at soaking up and holding the milk mixture. I think this version (and most traditional recipes are very sweet--too me almost cloyingly so. In my last version, I cut the sweetened condensed milk in half and that seemed perfect to me. Agree with others to definitely let sit overnight and use the recommended amount of milk mixture. The cake is supposed to be "soggy"!

Amazing! I have made this a couple times and it has been a hit. Definitely let it set overnight, the longer it the milk sets in, the better it is.

Omg!!! This is great I have made it several times and it is requested at work often. I made it as written, but also a tweak, using half white sugar and half brown sugar in the cake and instead of the sweetened condensed milk, I substituted 2 cans dulce de leche in the cream mixture. It gives a great caramel flavor.

Tasted great and everyone at my pictionary party loved it. Instead of using the extra milk mixture I just used a can of whipping cream.

I am prepping for a Mexican-themed party and did a trial run of this recipe for our dessert. It is tasty, but I did have entirely too much milk mixture than the cake could absorb. For the cup and a half of the milk mixture that you serve with the cake, I added some cinnamon for us to dip our bites in. That was a nice little addition. It's a very time-consuming cake to make, but we enjoyed it. When I make it for the party, I will poke holes in the cake and I will probably use less milk mixture.

Honestly this is the BEST tres leche cake ever! It is so rich and flavorful! It was a huge hit in my family. For some reason there was way too much of the leche mix left over .. we tried pouring it over each slice of our cake but still too much was left over. Overall a wonderful cake!

Had to prepare a traditional Mexican dessert to accompany my MIL's amazing homemade Mexican dinner. This dessert passed with flying colors! Easy to make and only soaked for 4 hours. I actually moved the cake to a larger pan and dumped the entire milk mix in for the full 4 hours. I also used a fork to poke dozens of holes into the cake. Worked marvelously! TRY IT!

If you freeze this cake after it has absorbed all the milk mixture, O.M.G. you practically have "TRES LECHES ICECREAM CAKE" that's how my father has eating it for forty years. GO FROZEN!!!
