Tres Leches: Three Milk Cake

Anonymous

I’m lactose intolerant so I could never order this cake at a restaurant. But lactose-free evaporated milk, heavy cream and condensed milk are now available at some stores, I had to try this. <br /><br />I must say this is one of the worst recipes I’ve ever seen. “1 can” doesn’t help me at all. So I googled and checked the most common can sizes which were 12 oz for evaporated milk and 14 oz for condensed milk. The recipe didn’t specify if I should pour the liquid over a warm or cold cake, so I poured it over the cake right after it came out from the oven. <br /><br />The result was pretty bad. Only the top part is a cake and the was literally like oatmeal (okay, cakemeal! Lol), we had to scoop and eat it with spoons. Although I’ve never had this cake before, I say a half of the milk mixture would have been better. I don’t think something called “cake” should be served in a bowl with a spoon...<br /><br />That said, it was extremely easy and the basic taste was good so I will modify the milk mixture and try again.
