PREMIUM TRES LECHES CAKE
Three forms of leche, or "milk," are poured over a baked cake to create its signature indulgence. Cake mix and ready-to-spread frosting make it easy.
"Tres Leches Cake may start out being a fairly typical yellow cake, but you're in for a big surprise if you haven't yet tasted it. You'll savor a very moist cake that's been soaked in three full-flavored milks ("tres leches" in Spanish). The preparation is similar to a "poke" cake, where a cake is first baked, then poked and a mixture poured over it. Tres Leches Cake may vary by region, having fruit or chocolate, but the three-milk soaking is the key to its authenticity."
1 (2-layer-size) box Betty Crocker1/2 SuperMoist yellow cake mix
1 1/4 cups water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 eggs
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup whole milk
1 cup heavy (whipping) cream
1 (12 oz) container Betty Crocker Whipped fluffy white frosting
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease bottom and sides of 13x9-inch pan with shortening or cooking spray; lightly flour.
In large bowl, beat (dry) cake mix, 1 1/4 cups water, oil, vanilla and eggs with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour into prepared pan.
Bake 33 to 38 minutes or until edges are golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand 5 minutes. Poke top of hot cake every 1/2 inch with long-tined fork, wiping fork occasionally to reduce sticking.
In large bowl, stir together sweetened condensed milk, whole milk and heavy cream. Carefully pour evenly over top of cake. Cover; refrigerate about 1 hour or until mixture is absorbed into cake.
Frost with frosting.
