This was not as good as I expected it to be. Will not make again.

Yum! I've never had this and was expecting a soggy result, but happily surprised! Of note: be sure you use a blender. I used my food processor and it leaked everywhere. Also, the milk sauce portion that was to be poured over the cake was nearly twice what I was able to use; I wound up throwing nearly half of it away. Even so, this is a GREAT cake, and I will definitely make again - and again.

It was okay. The whipped cream lacked sweetness and flavor. I am Hispanic and have had Tres Leches many times before and I don't think this recipe matched the "traditional" taste of an authentic one. Although I will add that just because it doesn't taste the same doesn't mean it tasted bad. After drenching it with the milk mixture after pulling out of the oven the cake was not too moist but after pouring the separated milk right before serving it it really is a moist cake with good flavors combined. Emeril,sorry, you did not get two thumbs up from me on this one but thank you anyway for satisfying a sweet tooth.

My family absolutely loved this recipe! It was super moist and melted in your mouth. My in-laws said it was like bread pudding on steroids. This has quickly become a family favorite.

I made this cake for a pot luck. I had it at a Cuban restaurant and also at a baking contest and I loved it. I found this recipe and, although it was a hit and everyone said they loved it, I was not happy with it. It tasted nothing like the Tres Leches Cakes I had tasted. The ones I tasted were almost like a pudding cake. This recipe, although it was moist, was still a little dry compared to the others I have tried. It was also very sweet for my taste. A man at work, who is from Cuba, said his wife makes the best Tres Leches Cake so I had him taste mine. He also said it should be much more soggy than it was so he is going to get me the recipe.

This is very close to the top of my favorite cakes. It received raves from all the family when used as a brithday cake today for my son-in-law. It is light, moist and makes you want more.

I made this cake yesterday. This was my second attempt (my first one being an absolute disaster and it was a screaming success. I had no trouble getting all the milk mixture to absorb but I found this cloyingly sweet. Recipe called for 2 cans of sweetened condensed and I would definitely cut that one extra out and maybe add 2 cans of evap. Getting the eggs right is the key to make the cake almost like a meringue.

I tried both Alton Browns Tres Leche and Emeril's. They are both excellent, Emerils is a bit sweeter and airy and Altons more dense and buttery. Both recipes are delicious and easy.
