[@Queenofthegingers]

Always mix the milks together BEFORE dumping them on the cake. It gives the cake a way more unified taste, the sweetened condensed milk when mixed with the other two becomes a bit thinner and keeps you from ending up with gloppy pieces of cake. I'd also suggest cooking the cake a little less, this is a bit dark. Lastly, but possibly most importantly, ALWAYS sift your flour BEFORE measuring it out. You will get a far more accurate measurement, keep the cake from falling in the middle and being too dense. (You want a nice light, fluffy cake! Hence cooking it less than this one!) Once your flour is sifted and measured, sift the rest of your dry ingredients (in this case, flour, sugar, baking powder) sifting all of your dry ingredients guarantees they're more evenly distributed which is going to produce a better consistency and overall better baked good. Enjoy! Oh! And sprinkle a bit of cinnamon on top!

[@Queenofthegingers]

@@leeniekat117 If I write out my whole recipe we'll be here all day, BUT, this recipe below is super close, I usually add a bit more vanilla, like two teaspoons, because vanilla makes cake delicious lol I also sift my ingredients like I mention above, and I REALLY watch my cake. You don't want it getting super brown, just so a toothpick comes out clean, or mostly clean with no wet cake batter on it. Let it cool completely! Just leave it on the counter for a couple of hours. Mix the milks together before dumping them on top. And make sure you poke holes in the corners and near the edges. When you pour the milk mixture, pour some on the sides too, where the cake meets the pan. When you make the whipped cream you can follow this recipe OR, find a recipe that tells you how to make whipped cream with vanilla syrup, (vanilla syrup is super easy to make, it's just sugar, water and vanilla). The vanilla is subtle in a whipped cream but I love it! I hope it turns out well for you!! tastesbetterfromscratch.com/tres-leches-cake/

Gotta admit- you don't hear much about the Tres Leche cake recipe being "ALL THE RAGE" OR "TRENDING CAKE RECIPE" OR "THE VIRAL CAKE SENSATION YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF!" She didn't present the cake as if she invented the wheel?! So maybe? Cut her some slack...? Ya gotta say the all that yummy fruit really makes the cake look even more beautiful, not to mention SCRUMPTIOUS! 🥝🍓🫐 I'll take it that way over canned icing anyday! 😉 Anyway...just my humble opinion...I just TRY to live my life NOT constantly judging or critiquing others...Don't we ALL need a little grace & kindness every now & then? Well...I mean tbh we all could use them more than every now & then (at least I know I could!) But seems more & more the people of today's world could never be nice & complimentary all the time! THO THEY expect to be treated in that manner, but rarely would they treat others the same way they themselves expect to be treated. And these very same people will complain that it's nothing like it used to be.... And on that they are 110% correct. Back in days of old, people were kind to one another, they helped one another out, women built up other women, they didn't constantly tear them down. Wish I could've experienced that world....those ways. How refreshing it must've been. Such a shame too, bc that's EXACTLY what this world needs, AND what our children need to learn. But they'll never learn it from most of the people nowadays. They're our future...and what's gonna happen when all they know is to nitpick, judge & criticize everyone? And know nothing about a kind word, a helping hand, or just a smile can make serious changes? We'll be leaving them a world that's even more of a cold, rude, hostile AND a lonely place...THAT'S NOT the legacy we should be passing down to our children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren....so on & so forth....but again...just my humble opinion. 😊 Be Blessed! ❤

When it is out of the oven and slightly cooled, use a wooden spoon to poke holes like she did. 3. Poor a can of sweetened condensed milk And a can of hot fudge. 4. Generous layer of coolwhip on top. Put in the fridge to chill slightly before serving so it doesn't fall apart. That is where I stop but I've seen people drizzle things on the top like more fudge and/or caramel. Or crush oreos on top. It's whatever you like really. The "Summer" version is more what she did. A yellow cake except I just use strawberries.

[@marisagonzalez1543]

OMG!! That's NOT how you are supposed to make it!! 😱😱😱😭 Latinos getting offended in 3..2...1!! Tres leches cake is much more than that, the process is much more elaborated.

[@user-fj7wv3bn6n]

Yes...Tres Leche...❤

[@deathcloan]

That isn't a hack that's tres leches cake and you are supposed to cool the cake completely, poke holes in the cake with a fork, use whole milk, mix the milks before pouring over the cake making sure the edges get enough, chill in the fridge for at least an hour for the cake to soak up the milk before finally topping with whipped cream and fruit

[@seganaleqa]

These people in the comments saying she called it the wrong thing, would probably be crying “appropriation” had she called it what you wanted her too. Why can’t people just share how they make their food without being ripped apart in the comments. Y’all don’t gotta eat it, so why complain. 🙄😅

[@peepla7]

Instead of 3 milks...pour some coffee in there...or jello. Frost it ...leave the fruit off. And you got a classic. Tres leches is better when you mix the milks before pouring. If you're not gonna do it that way...don't bother.

[@alextrujillo8611]

This looks like a tres leches cake lol

[@jeanettemarkley7299]

tres leches cake?

[@kimquinn7728]

Three milks. 1.-2% fat 2.-Condensed milk(usually sweetened) 3.-Evaporated milsuperset. sweet. Because a lot of water is removed from it, it is naturally thicker. Has body.)

[@lin-df7ov]

Ma'am please don't Christopher Columbus this traditional desert...

[@crochet937]

My mom made it with chocolate icing. It was the best! Sometimes, she would use chocolate cake mix with just the condensed milk. If the cake is hot at all, use a wooden spoon handle or something, not a plastic straw because plastic toxins leach into cake when straw gets warm.

[@momsmusic8136]

Forget all that milk stuff, shoot some pudding, chocolate or vanilla your choice, into the holes, layer the rest on top, than put a layer of whipped cream on top the pudding, chill about a 4hrs or over night for dessert the next day, when serving your choice as is or drizzle warm fudge over a piece and enjoy.... It tastes great and not soggy like it comes out using all those milk products....

[@tanicatonnie7944]

It’s supposed to be soggy … this is a tres leches cake… a very popular dessert in the Latin community

[@momsmusic8136]

@tanicatonnie7944 I know sweetie and my grandchildren love it, I personally rather have it with pudding, perfectly moist and flavorful 👍 to each their own taste....

[@CherryLifeSaver5746]

Yeah, I've had some soggy wet cake...yuck,!! I prefer pudding or you can use jello

[@christyrn8009]

Haha ... You can tell the difference of opinion by description. Soggy vs moist and RICH! The Latina in me goes with the authentic description. 😉

[@ladyphoenyx455]

People have been making "poke cakes" since the '70s! You can pour Jello, pudding, any kind of liquid over that cake and when it bakes it will set up. This trés leché looks amazing but don't make it sound like poking the holes in the cake are a new hack or something you invented. 🙄 🤨

[@1bluegreen2]

It's called DON'T BAKE A DRY CAKE IN THE FIRST PLACE😂

[@kimstout6419]

I've never cared for this. Makes a very soggy cake. Leave out the milk, all three, and you have a delicious cake that doesn't make you gag.

I actually shuddered when she added the whipped topping, the thought of all that super sweet soggy cake, I'll eat the fruit tho

[@faithbudnerelad1089]

No wonder there's so many overweight and diabetic people....​@@fiiboss

[@angelalynn9393]

For some reason I thought she was going to put it bake into the oven to let all that milk evaporate into the cake but the cake is already done. It looks great after the whipped topping and fruit was put on it but I bet the cake is soggy and mushy

That sounds sooooooo delicious

[@carissaf6909]

Sounds like trifle, with custard and cream as well. And sometimes juice and alcohol to give it a soggier feel.

[@copperamerindian050]

Like everyone in the comments have already mentioned, this is basically just a tres leches cake with the exception of her not premixing the 3 milks with vanilla extract before adding it in.. For my ppl allergic to cows milk, lactose intolerant or vegans you can substitute the 3 milks: 1. They now sell condensed Coconut and Oat milk , your choice. 2. You can make your own evaporated milk with the proper texture with rice milk, oat milk and sugar. 3. Use any regular milk of choice: rice, flax, oat, almond, hemp, cashew, sesame, coconut, etc. Your choice according to your desire.

[@sonyaprince6786]

I'm so sick of people calling everyday deserts hacks🙄 I'm black and from Texas. I know a Tres Leches Cake when I see one. Shout out to the Latino's that bake these beautiful tasty cakes.

[@BeingLifted]

In the 80s, after we poked holes in a sheetcake, we'd poor Jell-O over the cake, cover it with pudding, then cover that with whipped cream and fruit. I played with flavors and settled on cherry jello, then juicy pineapple slices, then vanilla pudding and whipped cream. 😋 Thanks for the tip with the condensed milk! A new way to play. 😊👍 ✌️💜💚❤️💡

[@MargaritaOnTheRox]

No. It's a tres leches cake, not a poke cake. You can't just use a regular cake recipe or it's not going to come out good. You'll have to look up a tres leches recipe to make a cake that will hold up to milk.

[@BeingLifted]

@@MargaritaOnTheRox Good to know. Thanks.

[@pinkloves23]

⁠@@MargaritaOnTheRoxlots of countries will have similar dishes with the names varying from country to country. Hispanics call this cake tres leches, black peoples call it poke cake. Like how Indians call their bread naan, Caribbeans will call it Roti, and East Africans will call it Chapati.
