Receta Pastel De Tres Leches | Three Milk Cake Recipe
by Tandy Sinclair

I have often heard the term tres leches when watching American cooking shows but I had never given much thought to making a ‘three milk’ cake until this month when the Daring Bakers’ challenge was issued. One of the three milks for the tres leches cakes is condensed milk and as it is sweetened with sucrose I cannot use it. With my one milk being evaporated milk, and the other coconut milk, I had decide what to do to make it a three milk cake. I could have made my own unsweetened condensed milk and I had a recipe open in my browser to do just that. But with time running out I chose to use cream as my third milk. Whereas I know this is probably not traditional, it worked. I baked my sponge cakes in two batches as I only have one baking tin due to my space constraints. While I was pouring the three milk combination over my first sponge cake Dave commented that he could not believe that the cake would absorb that much liquid. I confidently told him that it would as I had just read Alida’s post and she assured me all the liquid would be absorbed, and she used more than I did. Of course I was secretly surprised when I took the first cake out of the fridge after an hour and all of the liquid was in the cake and not in the tin! It is amazing how much liquid this cakes absorbs, and how light the sponge is considering the density of it. I was also relieved that the heavy coconut taste of my three milks concoction did not translate to a cake that tasted only of coconut. I served this as a dessert for our dinner party and I would make this again without a doubt.
