Tres Leches was in my to do list and am one among the happy persons who have tried and are so glad to have tried them. This is one sinful cake I have ever had and I just loved the cake a lot , Yes this cake is super soft and Milky to taste you will surely fall in love. I and my H had difficult time in resistingour-selfto onepiece as we had to share some with our friends. This is nothing but a sponge cake soaked in threedifferentmilks , very popular in south and north America and it is said to be originated inMexico. Tres leches literally means three Milk and so as the name goes it is soaked in the mixture of 3differentmilks. I had planned to make a cake with the chocolate lace ahead I thought I would either do the lace for black forest cake or for tres leches . So went ahead and did the lace for this delectable cake.
Now moving on to the recipe…
