What a Flop!
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

Can anyone tell me why this recipe just bombed on me? I followed the instructions to a T and my cake did not rise at all. I... whipped the eggs until they tripled in size and folded the ingredients gently, not beating at all. It came out soooo dense and flat and didn't soak up any of the milk. Something was left out of this recipe. By the way, the almond extract can totally be left out. It makes the liquid too sweet and artificial tasting. What a waste of ingredients!Read more

Minor alterations needed...
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I enjoyed this version of the classic Tres Leches cake, though next time around I'll make a few minor changes to the recipe. ... A smaller pan than the one indicated would be helpful and I'd shave five minutes off the cooking time (the sponge cake was too thin and a little overcooked when made according to the recipe). I also tried a nice variation of the original by adding 1/4 cup of coconut milk and 1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut to the cake batter, then substituting coconut milk for the whole milk and rum for the extracts--perfect served with fresh tropical fruit.Read more

Loved it
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I love this recipe. I am a professional pastry chef and think that this recipe is great and traditional, extremely easy to... and fast and very good overall. I do recommend whipping some cream with sugar to frost the cake and decorate with some fruit (berries or mangoes would be great) to add some color and flavor... Other than that... Great! I have made it many times.Read more
