I made this cake for fathers day and it was a BIG HIT. Everyone loved it. I found that by slicing the cake in half and pouring the milk mixture into both sides when the cake was still hot I didn't need to put in all the milk and the cake was moist enough all the way through without it becoming soggy.
Super yummy!!

Very easy and delicious. Everyone loved it. It seems that there is way too much liquid for the cake to absorb but after refrigerating overnight, it was great. Try this recipe!

This was an easy recipe to make, and it's the only tres leches cake I've ever liked. Very light, slightly sweet. I'm a fan.

This is the best 3 milk cake I have ever tasted! Not only is it good, but the recipe is easy to follow and turned out superb. I would not change a thing. Thank you Emeril.

I made this cake for our anual Super Bowl party and everyone raved about it. The cake was easy to make--I just added more powered sugar to the whipped cream frosting. That is the only change I made. Thanks for the great recipe Emeril.

We made this for Xmas dessert this year and it didn't disappoint. The recipe seemed a little sweet (even for Tres Leches so I decided to use only homemade whipping cream for the frosting. This also cut down on the level of difficulty.
I'm also glad I read the reviews before baking--great tip to poke holes in the cake to allow for maximum soakage and I'd reco soaking overnight. The holes disappear.
Will definitely make this again!

I made this cake over the summer and am making it again for a New Year's Day dinner. It was so delicious and exactly the Tres Leches I have been searching for! My "taste testers" said it was, "A slice of heaven".

My cake did not turn out very spongy, and the milk mixture wasn't absorbed at all. Will try again, beating the eggs longer, folding in the flour, and poking holes before pouring the milk.

I made Tres Leches Cake for my spanish class, and earned rave reviews.
I even managed to receive a compliment from my professor, who lived and studied in Spain for several years.
It is such a delicious cake - moist and spongy, people were delighted with its sweetness. (It managed to find a balance point where it was sweet without being sickeningly sweet.
Thanks Emeril, this is a delicious recipe! I will try poking carefully spaced holes next time to allow for even draining of the milk.
