Tres Leches is a traditional cake from Mexico. It gets its name from the “three milks” that you blend together and pour on top until the cake soaks up all the moist, sweet deliciousness. Tres leches is perfect for a gluten-free cake, because the milks overcome the shortcomings gluten-free cakes sometimes have in the dry, crumbly department. Delicious!
Cook both cake mixes together in a 13×9 pan according to the directions on the box. (The mix will call for the eggs, vanilla, and butter included in the recipe.) Turn cake out onto a rimmed platter and allow to cool.
Combine condensed milk, evaporated milk, and 1/2 cup heavy cream in a bowl with a spout or a pitcher. When cake is cool, pierce the surface with a fork several times.
Slowly drizzle all but about 1 cup of the milk mixture—try to get as much around the edges of the cake as you can. Allow the cake to absorb the milk mixture for 30 minutes.
Whip 1 pint heavy cream with 3 tablespoons of sugar until thick and spreadable. Spread over the surface of the cake. Cut into squares and serve each piece with a cherry on top.

I made this last weekend for my birthday and it was SO delicious. Thanks for the recipe! So glad one of the stores near me carries these cake mixes too!

I might have to try this. I had never heard of this cake before I moved to New Mexico but one of my friends made it for her daughters birthday, unfortunately I could have any. Maybe I will make some just for us some day soon!

I love this cake! Thanks for pointing out that it can be made Gluten Free with the help of Betty, gotta love Betty. My nine year old Grandson will really like this. Thanks for sharing.
