This delightful milk cake, also known as tres leches cake, is a Latin American favorite that's surprisingly easy to make. Start by baking a light, airy sponge cake made with flour, eggs, sugar, milk, and vanilla. Once cooled, the cake is poked all over and soaked in a rich mixture of three milks: sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and whole milk or cream. After chilling for at least 3 hours to allow the cake to absorb the milk mixture fully, it's topped with a layer of freshly whipped cream. The result is an incredibly moist, sweet, and creamy dessert that melts in your mouth. Perfect for special occasions or as a decadent treat, this milk cake serves 12-15 and is best enjoyed cold straight from the refrigerator.
