Ingredients

Cake:

  • 6 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 limes, zested
  • 1 cup flour

Soaking liquid:

Garnish:

  • 6 ounces heavy cream
  • Mixed berries

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a medium size bowl whip the eggs and sugar until very light and fluffy. Add in the zest and gently fold in the flour. Pour the batter into a greased 10-inch round cake pan and bake until golden, about 20 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan and allow to cool. Return the cake to the pan.

To make the milk mixture, pour all of the ingredients into a medium size pot and bring to a boil.

To assemble the cake, use a small cup and pour the hot milk mixture over the cake and allow to soak for at least 30 minutes, pressing down on the cake to make sure it is absorbing the milk mixture. To garnish the cake, whip the heavy cream and top the cake with the whipped cream. Add the berries decoratively.

    Found this recipe today and made it for my cousin's birthday party. It was DELICIOUS... everyone enjoyed and it was sooo easy to make. One tip I will give to fellow home-cooks is to whip the eggs/sugar for at least 5 minutes, the mixture needs to be very fluffy. I read some reviews that rated this recipe very low however, this recipe exceeded my expectations being someone that grew up eating Tres Leches I was happily surprised at the excellent flavor and texture. Great job FN on this recipe!!!

    something definitely wrong with the interpretation of recipe. it came out hard as a rock and as other people had stated, would not absorb the milk even when I poked holes in it and let it sit over night. I think there's too much egg in the recipe as written.
