Tres Leches — a wet sponge cake! The first time I heard about it was actually during a Discord call with my friends. Someone was describing it to me, but I didn’t realize what it really was until I made one myself. It truly is just a wet sponge cake! I thought it was strange at first because it sounded like a soggy dessert — and I usually don’t like soggy foods. But tres leches surprised me. It’s sweet, soft, and you can even adjust the amount of milk to make it less soggy if you prefer. This recipe was super easy to make and tasted amazing! It didn’t even matter if I overcooked the cake a little because the milk mixture soaked in and made it perfectly moist. The whipped cream on top complemented the sponge cake so well — everything about it just worked beautifully together. I remember the day I made it; we were having a Mexican dinner. My friend Erick brought over some beans he made, along with a little burnt red rice. Shawn made chicken thighs, and they turned out really good with the sides. To finish off the meal, I decided to make tres leches — and it was the perfect dessert to complete the dinner. I give this recipe 5 cactuses out of 5 because it was super easy to make and tasted so good. The texture was soft, creamy, and reminded me of a cozy, milky dessert. Everyone loved it, and I can’t wait to make it again someday!
