Рет қаралды 64,519
Жыл бұрынWe 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!

Hi, what size cans were the condensed and evaporated milk? Or do you have ratios for the 3 milks?
@readylisettego 3 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.
