This was my first tres leches cake, to make or eat. It turned out so well!
I baked the cake in two 9″ rounds for 30 minutes, and frosted the cake with two full cups of whipped cream.

This cake was delicious, I put it back in the pan after poaking it full of holes so that it could soak up the milk overnight in the refrigerator, and just frosted it before serving. It was among the best cakes I’ve ever had, divine. I will make it again!

Made this yesterday for my Mom’s birthday. I knew that I should probably let it set for a few hours, but I ran out of time…but it was a hit even though it only sat for an hour or so! Even my meat & potatoes dad loved it! Can’t wait to try the leftovers today

Make this cake! I am such a novice baker and followed the instructions to a tee and it came out beautifully. I had never experienced this type of cake before and after first bite I immediately felt a since of sadness for the 32 years that I’ve had without it. It’s that good. It’s eat for breakfast good (it’s got milk right??) Make it, you won’t be sorry!

I made this today for Cinco de Mayo, my first time to ever have tres leches. It won’t be my last time to make it! Everyone really liked it except the daughter that doesn’t like cake in any form. At least she’s consistent. A little bit silly, but consistent. Thanks, Ree!

We had this for Easter – everyone LOVED this. My husband didn’t think it tasted like the tres leches cakes he’s had in Mexican restaurants, but also said he wouldn’t change a thing and definitely make it again I followed the cake, milk syrup, and whipped cream directions exactly as written – the only thing I did differently was to top the frosted cake with chopped macerated strawberries instead of the maraschino cherries. The strawberries are DELICIOUS with this cake. It was really light and not overly filling. I did soak the cake overnight and then frosted about 4 hours before eating – it was totally fine that way (and convenient)! Thanks for a wonderful recipe!
