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

  1. With a fork, punch some holes in the cake still in its loaf pan.
  2. In a medium saucepan, mix the 3 milks and heat over low heat. When the milk mixture is hot, remove it from the stove.
  3. 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 love this cake (without the candy). It’s super easy & quick. My daughter who is the pickiest ever HATES cake but will eat this any day. I personally like the texture of the pound cake then most of the “authentic” tres leche cakes. I come back to this recipe year after year!
