From the recipe above: “Tres Leches Cake is a very moist cake filled with a mixture of “milks.” It is a favorite Mexican and South American Dessert. I got the recipe from Chela, my housekeeper who is from Mexico. The Cake preparation includes 3 parts: the cake, the filling, and the frosting.”
From what I read, the name comes from using milk in 3 different parts of the cake. Mine does not have fruit on it. Just the caramel glaze and a big, flaky piece of chocolate. It’s very pretty.
Happy birthday!
