TRES LECHES Cake | Homemade Tres Leches Cake Recipe



Today I am cooking at home and making tres leches cake from scratch. This recipe can be doubled for a larger cake. You can add fresh fruit for garnish and different toppings to make it festive.

    I’m a novice baker; but I’ve used this recipe 8-9 times and it is a proven winner! Thank you so much!

    Thank you my love. Tomorrow is my daughters 14th birthday party. I’m going to be making this today and chill it overnight. I have made tres leche before, but yours seems so much easier. I will double this recipe and I’ll be back to let you know how it turned out. We are very excited. I am Greek, Italian, Irish and my husband is Mexican. So are children are mixed. I am the cook in the family, so I can’t wait to continue to impress my Mother in law with this recipe 😊 Thank you again! God bless you and your family!

    Thank you for this recipe. I have a bride who would like it for her wedding cake. Can you tell me if the soaked cake can be used in a three layered cake and still hold up? I will be stacking cakes a well and filling with Mango Marmalade combined with buttercream. I was considering less milk for the soak.

    Gracias Mammie , i am trying to show someone what Tres Leche is and of course i went to YT to send them a video. But the first 5 videos on TresLeche are white guys cooking them and they look dry AF. (The cake) . Of course i see a Latina making it and its wet and moist like it should be. Im from LA but my friend is in the UK so theres no reference for them. I want them to see the REAL cake. I knew I would have to find a latina with a lil cake, to show them the real Tres Leche. Thank you.

    Great Job, Great Video Babygirl, I Love You!!! Tres Leche Forever!!! Long Live Tres Leches!!! 😃

    any particular reason you chill your egg whites before you beat them? i thought the usual advice was to keep them at room temp. love your recipes and videos <3

    So….Just reread the ingredients which I went over several times before beginning. Because, as beautiful as my cake looks, when I served it up in all it's deliciousness it was dense and hard, almost solid. I could not believe it because there is a lot of leche in the pan but it did not soak in. Guess what?? I used a 1 WHOLE cup and 2 TBS of flour😧 I apparently didn't see 1/2 but 1 cup and 2 TBS UGHHH

    So frustrated…what a waste of products. Tells me I didn't need it! However, I will make it again soon. BTW the leche with orange peel is delicisoso! It is the same recipe I use for my arroz con leche (orange peel and cinnamon stick)=))

    Oh yes… I have to drive over an hour and a half in good traffic to get these cakes. I’m trying to make one on Friday. I love your channel. ❤❤
