This cake is so well known throughout Latin America, not only in Mexico since it's so good, moist and perfect and yet very easy to make. I have come across this dessert many times after devouring some delicious tacos; some have been better than others and the secret has been time after time again the moistness. In Spanish the cake is called tres leches, meaning it's actually made from three types of milk concentrations, condensed, evaporated and regular milk. A recipe is easily found online or in cook books, and the truth is you will have to give it a couple of tries until the right consistency is reached since you will know by tasting it when you have added too much, or needs a little more. You can try adding your own favorite ingredients like vanilla, Kahlua, amaretto and even marshmallow flavorings. Grandmas all over have developed their own recipes so if you know someone, this is probably the best route since they have already done the hard work, and perfected it. What matters is that you have fun doing it and once you are putting the frosting decorated in a fun way, but most importantly enjoyed, until the plate is completely empty and please do share.
