    I love this cake! I made it 4 times. Note: The cake is sweet so I only use a little sugar in the whipped cream topping.

    Because I live alone I made it in two layers and froze one.
    Worked just great!!!!!
    Just don't top with the shipped cream
    until well thawed.

    Hands down, bar none... this is the VERY BEST TRES LECHES EVER in the world! I have made several other recipes and my family just wont have them, I ALWAYS come back to Altons recipe. I do not stray from his exact directions and this cake comes out brilliantly perfect every single time and it never lasts more than a day. It is incredibly good, it is the one cake my family begs for me to make and it is the only recipe I will use for Tres Leches! Grrrrrrrreat job Alton... you totally got the science right on this one and we thank you! :

    The best Tres Letche cake I have had. I used a spring form pan; it took a little longer to bake but came out perfect. Added the milks and left overnight. The next day I added the whipped cream and refrigerated it for a couple of hours.

    Ran a knife around the cake and took off the ring. It looked great, was not soggy (i.e. no liquid at the bottom. Looked and tasted amazing.

    I am from Miami and Tres Leches Cake is found in every bakery there. They sell it in a loaf pan with three maraschino cherries on the top of the cake. I think this is a very good recipe except the whipped cream topping is not typical...a 7 minute frosting is what is used instead of the whipped cream, it is more stable and lasts a lot longer, that is, if your cake survives dinner! I love you Alton!

    I also found it to be too dense. I will try seperating the eggs and beating the whites then folding to make a fluffier cake, reducing the sweetened condensed milk to 1/2 a can and heavy cream instead of half n 1/2 for the soaking. will post my findings.
    thank you Alton for I would not have known about Tres Leches Cake if not for your show.

    Amazing, I only use cake flour when making this and I always add fresh sliced strawberries to mine before finishing it with the whipped cream. Best cake EVER!

    Very good cake. I followed the directions precisely, and served it to my book club members. We all agreed it was great. I shared the recipe with my friends, no cake was left at the end of the evening! Thanks.

    Love Alton's recipes but this one missed the bar in a few places. The cake was a bit too dense and it way too sweet even after using half of the sugar in the frosting. Maybe beating the egg whites to make a fluffier cake and cutting the sugar in the cake as well. I added cinnamon which added a great flavor. Not the best Tres Leche cake I've had but worth a second try with some minor alterations.

    This was without a doubt the worse cake I have even made or eater. It was graining and like sand. I am not a novice baker either. I made your angel food cake recipe and it was great. So, I assumed this would be great also. I made it for Mother's day. What a mistake. Even my grandchildren would not eat more than one bite. The whip cream frosting was the only good thing.
    Don't waste your time and money on making this cake@
