My mom made the Three Milk Cake. I went home just to have a slice! It was delicious. She told me that she didn’t make it like the recipe I posted earlier but rather from a recipe she found on the Food Network’s Web site. Here’s the recipe:

Tres Leches: Three Milk Cake
1 yellow cake mix (with pudding) baked as directed in 13 by 9-inch pan

For topping mixture:
1 can evaporated milk
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 pint heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup rum (or to taste)

To finish:
Whipped cream, to cover cake
5 ounces sweetened coconut

Poke holes in the cake with a fork all over. Pour topping mixture over cake. Let mixture absorb completely in refrigerator.

Cover with whipped cream or cool whip and sprinkle sweetened coconut over top of cake.

OPTIONAL: Add macadamia nuts, cherries and/or pineapple.

This is a much easier recipe than what I had posted! And thinking about it, why make a cake from scratch if you are just going to drench it in milk?
