Photo: Tres Leches Cake Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 pound cake, loaf-style
- 6 ounces evaporated milk
- 8 ounces heavy whipping cream
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup sugar
- Chocolate covered candies, all in 1 color (recommended: M&M's)
- 1/2 cup crushed skittles
Directions
With a fork, punch some holes in the cake still in its loaf pan.
In a medium saucepan, mix the 3 milks and heat over low heat. When the milk mixture is hot, remove it from the stove.
Pour the milk mixture slowly over the cake, being sure to fill all the holes. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes. Whip the heavy cream slowly adding sugar until soft peaks form. When the cake chilled, cover the cake with whipped cream. Using the chocolate covered candies and skittles, craft out a design of your own.

I found the recipe pretty easy to do...making paula's pound cake and then using Ingrid's recipe for the Tres Leches worked out well...The only problem I had was getting the cake out of the bread pan after I had put the tres leche milk mix over the top of it...this was my first time making this type of cake and overall it turned out well..and I love the taste..very moist and juicy and everyone of my friends and family that tried it loved it...Jim

This is not how you make a tres leches cake. you make it by making a the cake cake with a particular recipe tres leches cake, not by buying sponge cake and trying to pass it off as the real thing. The texture is not right with the sponge cake , you really need to make the recipe properly and make the cake from scratch using the recipe. It is well worth it. The real version is delicious! Please don't judge the tres leches cake until you have had the real thing , not by this short cut version. Not good. sorry. Alton Brown has the real original recipe and it is to die for, just dreamy.

I know the original recipe for the tres leches cake and is very delicious and let me tell you that the base cake is not a pound cake, it is a sponge type cake that absorbs all the milk like a sponge. It only requires eggs, sugar and flour, milk requires evaporated milk, condensed milk, media crema and some rum if desire.
