    I have been in search for a great tres leches recipe (like the authentic that I've had. This, while good, was WAY too dry. Real tres leches is completely soaked with the milks, sometimes even dripping onto your plate. If I make again, I will probably triple the cream recipe. The cake was very close to authentic, but still a little too dense.

    I am Mexican and if a recipe is not good it's not mexican food! but this one is as close as the authentic, my aunt used to made the best Tres Leches cake and after traying several recipes in american and mexican cook books I was able to get a copy of my very own aunt's hand writen recipe book I tried and it tasted as I remember it as a child only to find myself few months later watching Emeril doing it on tv. The only thing I added was Rum to the milks as in the original recipe, however many people in this country keeps away from the cake when they hear it has rum, so I decided that everybody should try it and I substitute the Rum for extract of rum

    Cake came out perfectly, had to cook just a tad longer than recommended, and Did not do the icing, that would have been just a little too much BAM! <grin>

    One of my co-workers was looking for a recipe for this cake and we started talking about it. I have to say, I really didn't have a clue as to what to expect from the final product, but...wow! It tastes incredible, even though I made a thin vanilla buttercream for the icing it still rocked. Here's my question, though: when I went to remove the cake from the oven after 25 minutes, the middle was WAY loose. I ended up poking holes in the cake after it rested for a minute or so and baked it for at least 15 more minutes for it to be set. What happened? Any suggestions?

    I made this for a themed dinner. The hosts were quite familiar with tres leche. I had never made it before and it got rave reviews! I don't think you have to be an expert - just take it step by step. I burned the suger the first time I boiled it, but got it just right the second try. I also poked some holes partway done into the cake before I poured the milk mixture.
    Wow - it was so good!

    I made this cake for my Nicaraguan husband & in-laws for Christmas Day and they were SOOOOOOO impressed! Some of them thought I had bought it at a bakery! The best part was that it wasn't very hard to make at all!! I substituted pineapple & maraschino cherries for the mango & papaya and it worked out great. I will definitely be making this again and again and again!!!
