Very yummy! Family loved it, made it for the 1st time today, mother's day. Almost all gone, and they debated who was keeping what little was left! But I do think I may substitute regular milk for the half n half because it does get quite heavy. Can't wait to make it again! Thx AB!

Wow, this was really easy and turned out great! I never had tres leches cake before, so I did not know what to expect. I followed the recipe exactly, and even bought a kitchen scale (finally in order to weigh the ingredients. I was very afraid that the cake would end up being a soggy mess, but it was super moist and delicious! I made this for a cinco de mayo party. My mom, who never had this cake before either, said it may be her new favorite cake! I would definitely recommend this recipe!

I will note that the milk took a long time to soak into my cake. In Alton's video I think he shows the cake after 3 minutes and the milk had mostly soaked in. Even after a few hours my cake still had a fairly thick layer of the milk mixture on top. However, after letting it soak overnight it was fine.

Followed the recipe exactly and it turned out delicious! I even used a hand mixer instead of a stand mixer and it still turned out great! Good thing cinco de mayo only comes once a year cuz the calorie count is pretty high (310 cals each if u cut it into 24 pieces but I'm willing to sacrifice myself once a year!

Absolutely delicious. I read the reviews before trying it and I am grateful for the standard measurements versus the measurements by weight. This is definitely a keeper!

This cake is fantastic! Yes it's sweet, though it has a slightly burnt caramel flavor from the sweetened condensed milk which is wonderful. It is a soggy cake, but if you make it right it shouldn't be mushy.

You HAVE to follow the recipe though. If you use AP flour instead of cake flour, chances are the cake will be tough. Don't rush while making it either. Integrate the sugar and flour in batches and the eggs one at a time.

When it comes the people who said that the cake didn't soak up the liquid, remember you have to poke all the way through the cake and you have to put a LOT of holes. I use a skewer as it leaves bigger holes which helps, and I make sure to cover every square inch. If your cake isn't soaking up the liquid, chances are you didn't perforate it enough. I've made this 3 times already and each time it takes only about a minute to soak up the liquid.

I do agree with cutting the sugar in the whipped cream to 4oz. It's plenty sweet enough without all that extra sugar.
