10 Reviews of Mexican Tres Leche Cake

I baked this cake in an 8 inch cake pan which I think was a mistake. It didn't leave enough room to pour in all of the "tres leche" mixture. So I drained it back off; transferred the baked cake to a larger 9 X 9 inch pan and then had room for all the milk mixture. Next time I will bake it in a 9 inch square pan. This cake is simple to make, moist, delicious and almost reminded me of a rum cake. It is surprisingly not overly sweet. I did not spread the whipped cream on the cake but we spooned some on top of our servings. I would, however recommend spreading the whipped cream to dress it up for special occasions.

My daughter's teacher gave me an authentic Mexican recipe for this years ago. BUT, I lost it, and decided to try yours. The cake was good. BUT, again, it was more like a floating island. I put a heavily weighted can on top of the plastic wrap, and solved the problem.Very moist and delicious. I did skip the whipped cream frosting, and served fresh raspberries on the side.

This was an excellent cake. Not too sweet. The instructions are clear and concise. I agree with Titanium Chef in that the cake is also good w/o the frosting. If you do use the forsting, I recommend more sugar, it's a little bland with only a teaspoon. Overall, though, a fantastic cake!

This is very good. The first time I forgot to put the plastic wrap over the soaking cake, and we ended up with a cake float. The second time I followed the instructions explicitly and it turned out fine. Note to eaters: this is also very good without the frosting... try a little whipped cream and fresh berries on top... YUM. Thanks for posting Mille®™!

I have been wanting to make this cake for a long time, my sister recently returned from Mexico and said you HAVE to try Tres Leche cake, tonight we had fajitas for dinner and I thought this is the ideal time to try it, and boy am I glad I did. I love the flavours that soak through the whole cake...very very yum. Thanks Miller

I did as suggested and placed a plate on the plastic wrapped cake to keep it from floating. I served the cake at a Mexican church dinner with whipped topping on the side. It was not too sweet. Everyone enjoyed it.

My husband fell in love with the Tres leche Cake on our honeymoon in Cancun. This recipe does not copy the cake, but it is pretty darn close to it. My husband LOVES this cake !!!!! And it is so simple and easy to make. Great recipe !!!!

My family thought this was pretty good. It is extremely moist, but almost a little bit too much for us. Glad I tried it, thanx for sharing.

This cake turned out perfect!! I actually made it in a round baking dish and the measurements were spot on! I love the hint of rum in the milk mix. Can't wait to make this again!
