Description

A light, creamy, no-bake tres leches cake made with soft sponge cake soaked in a sweet three-milk mixture and topped with fluffy whipped cream.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups sponge cake cubes or ladyfingers
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, chilled
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • Ground cinnamon or nutmeg, optional

Instructions

  1. Place sponge cake cubes or ladyfingers into a glass dish, spreading them evenly.
  2. In a bowl, whisk sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, whole milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Slowly pour the milk mixture over the cake, gently pressing so it soaks evenly.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  5. Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar to soft peaks.
  6. Spread the whipped cream over the soaked cake.
  7. Garnish with cinnamon or nutmeg and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Chill the cake long enough so the milk fully absorbs.
  • Use day-old sponge cake for better soaking.
  • Whip cream only to soft peaks for a light texture.
