I ADORE Alton, but I don't have a food scale. Please include conventional US dry measures instead of or along with weights for ingredients, thanks. This recipe is not usable otherwise. PS. In my experience, pastel de tres leches ("three milks" is plural, even in Spanish, there is an S at the end of leche(s, more often has a vanilla meringue topping, not sweetened whipped cream.

I spend winters in Mexico and start craving this cake long before I arrive. Now I don't have to wait until I get to Mexico - I can make a perfect tres leches right at home. That man NOT be a good thing 'cause it sure isn't low cal.

I've made a lot of cakes and this is one of my favorites. If you are looking for a moist cake this is it. A basic cake with wonderful sweetness from the milks and grear for parties.

I saw this on Good Eats the other night and was intrigued, and when I planned an all Mexican meal decided to try this for dessert. It was a huge hit.

I did have a little problem with the whipped icing, possibly because it was very humid here today. I normally don't have problems with whipped icing.

This cake was great. It was really sweet and moist. I didn't realize I used salted butter until it was done, but it still turned out to be delicious. Can't wait to make it again without the salt.

I found it to be pretty strait forward. Something I never tried before. (Either baking or eating I love trying new stuff.
Doesn't last very long, though... But only because it so tasty.

This is a WONDERFUL recipe. And I absolutely LOVE all of Alton Brown's "Good Eats" shows. I wish there were more of them, and a little less of Rachel Ray's $40 a day shows. I like her shows too, but there are just too many of them. MORE ALTON BROWN.....PLEASE!!!!!

I tried this recipe out with great results. Having just moved, I have not unpacked my stand up mixer or my hand mixer, so the batter and the whipped topping was all made by hand. It was much more time consuming this way, but the end result was too delicious to care. The only change I would make would be to cut down a little on the sugar and vanilla in the whipped cream; the dish is rich as it is without being knocked back by the sweetness on top.

Overall, a delicious dish that makes the perfect cap to a spicy meal.
