Happy Cinco de Mayo!

I love Mexican food, so in honor of Cinco de Mayo I decided to post about my favorite Mexican sweet, Pastel Tres Leches. I only recently discovered this delicious dessert, and I don't know how I went so long without it.


Tres Leches (or Three Milks) is basically a sponge cake soaked with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and heavy cream. I like it topped with whipped cream and strawberries, caramel, or cimmanom, but topping is optional since Tres Leches is so good by itself. If you haven't tried it yet, I would highly recommend finding some. If you're feeling adventurous and would like to try making it, let me know..... I have a great recipe for Tres Leches cupcakes!
