Tres leches cake

Epic card · No. 14641

A tres leches cake (lit. 'three-milk cake'; Spanish: pastel de tres leches, torta de tres leches or bizcocho de tres leches), also known as dulce de tres leches (lit. 'three-milk sweet'), pan tres leches (lit. 'three-milk bread') or simply tres leches (lit. 'three milks'), is a Latin American sponge cake soaked in evaporated milk, condensed milk and whole milk. It is often topped with whipped cream, fruit, and cinnamon. Tres leches is a light cake with many air bubbles. This spongy texture is why it does not have a soggy consistency despite being soaked in a mixture of three types of milk. A variation has spread to Southeastern Europe, especially Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Turkey, where it is known as trileçe or trileće.
