Abstract

Light cake layers, rich in nutty almond flavour, are soaked with a generous amount of three-milk mixture, then sandwiched with jam and slivered almonds and topped with whipped cream in this version of a much-loved Mexican dessert.

Tres leches cakes get their name from the sweet, rich three-milk mixture that soaks into the cake layers - in this recipe, a combination of evaporated milk, condensed milk and almond milk. "It may seem like there's a lot of sauce," says Pati Jinich, "but the cake will absorb it all. And the more the cake sits in the sauce, the better it will be."
