Easy Tres Leches Cake (Using a Cake Mix!)
Ойын-сауық
We are making a very simple, easy version of Tres Leches cake. If you like very easy recipes and really moist cakes this one’s for you!
This is the first recipe I ever formulated and wrote down, over 10 years ago! It is the only cake recipe I’ve made more times than I can count! I get asked for this recipe more than any other thing that I make! I have yet to ever serve this cake to someone who didn’t love it and I’ve made it for birthdays, events, and even a wedding! You are definitely going to want to try this one!

How soon after can you eat this? I know you said overnight, but can it be "ready" after 3-4 hours?
@readylisettego
Ай бұрын
I’d recommend 4 hours minimum. The milk gets more absorbed the longer it sits. So the milk might run out of the cake a little more than if you leave it overnight, but it will still taste good 😄
Hi how many hours do you let the cake stay in the fridge before you take it out to eat it
@readylisettego

I have left it as little as 4 hours and up to 2 days. And it is good either way! Hope you enjoy ☺️
Hi, what size cans were the condensed and evaporated milk? Or do you have ratios for the 3 milks?
@readylisettego
5 ай бұрын
Hi! I use a 12 oz can of evaporated milk and a 14 oz can of condensed milk. I believe this is the most common sizes sold, however if you live somewhere different idk if it’s always standard. The most important thing is to have the milks measure close to 4 cups of milks combined and from there you can play around with the types of milks and amounts of each.

I don’t know what I did wrong but I made a strawberry tres leche cake for the first time ever making tres leche and I used 1 can evaporated milk 1 can condensed and 1cup of milk. It was just like slop it was so wet it didn’t even cut like a piece of cake it was just a wet messy disaster. I let it set for at least 6 hours or more with the milk. Any advice? Thank you
