@@marketatomlinson2144 tres leches is wet but if the cake is done correctly, it should not end up falling apart and soggy! In my opinion, the wetter, the better 🤤
Tre Leche cakes is far from a new revelation for Americans, Mexican-Americans represent 12% of the US population. Tre Leche Cake is readily available at many Mexican restaurant menus and bakeries across the US.
@@Gibbzalicious lol. I guess people dont mind loose stools. It is a side effect on so many pharmaceuticals, maybe people even love diarrhea. Wont stop them from eating anything!
I think it spreads better and more eventually this way because of the thickness of the evaporated milk don't know if that the case but I believe that's ones of the reasons why
That's the idea. Its Tres Leche. It tastes like ice cream and cake mixed together, but with ice cream completely melted. Its great. You should try it if you like ice cream with your cake.
Always mix the milks together BEFORE dumping them on the cake. It gives the cake a way more unified taste, the sweetened condensed milk when mixed with the other two becomes a bit thinner and keeps you from ending up with gloppy pieces of cake. I'd also suggest cooking the cake a little less, this is a bit dark. Lastly, but possibly most importantly, ALWAYS sift your flour BEFORE measuring it out. You will get a far more accurate measurement, keep the cake from falling in the middle and being too dense. (You want a nice light, fluffy cake! Hence cooking it less than this one!) Once your flour is sifted and measured, sift the rest of your dry ingredients (in this case, flour, sugar, baking powder) sifting all of your dry ingredients guarantees they're more evenly distributed which is going to produce a better consistency and overall better baked good. Enjoy! Oh! And sprinkle a bit of cinnamon on top!
@@leeniekat117 If I write out my whole recipe we'll be here all day, BUT, this recipe below is super close, I usually add a bit more vanilla, like two teaspoons, because vanilla makes cake delicious lol I also sift my ingredients like I mention above, and I REALLY watch my cake. You don't want it getting super brown, just so a toothpick comes out clean, or mostly clean with no wet cake batter on it. Let it cool completely! Just leave it on the counter for a couple of hours. Mix the milks together before dumping them on top. And make sure you poke holes in the corners and near the edges. When you pour the milk mixture, pour some on the sides too, where the cake meets the pan. When you make the whipped cream you can follow this recipe OR, find a recipe that tells you how to make whipped cream with vanilla syrup, (vanilla syrup is super easy to make, it's just sugar, water and vanilla). The vanilla is subtle in a whipped cream but I love it! I hope it turns out well for you!! tastesbetterfromscratch.com/tres-leches-cake/
It’s better if u mix all the wet liquids together first cus it makes it a little difficult for the light weight liquids to get through condensed milk. Hope that helps

If you have any Mexican friends, get them to take you to a Mexican restaurant with a good tres leches cake. Or even better, to their mom or grandma’s house to try theirs. It will change your view entirely.
How is everyone *not* over everything being a "hack" yet?? I never thought anything would be worse than the *"EXTREME!"* phase, but all of these people claiming nearly everything they do is a "hack" have proven me wrong. 😖
My mom did this all the time when I was a kid. I’ve been making my cakes this way. The only thing we don’t do is add the whipped cream or fruit. We just poke holes and do the condensed milk right on top. Love these types of cakes!!
I make tres leches with coconut milk (condensed, regular and cream) and add pineapple juice from canned pineapple chunks. Omg, it tastes so tropical, it’s become my family’s favorite!
Back in the 80’s (?), there was a pudding commercial where they poured the pudding over the top of the holes, then refrigerated it. When the pudding set up, you’d add frosting. It was a very good and moist cake.
My mom did Jello poke cakes growing up... Funfetti or vanilla cake and strawberry jello topped with cool whip and kept I. The fridge was Soo Good in the summer ❤
She didn't let YOU see it? She let all the rest of us see. Maybe she's mad at you or doesn't like you so she didn't let you see the rest. She even let the rest of us taste a sample, it was yummy.
My granny taught me too. She called it a poke cake and only used evaporated/condensed milk. I’m excited to try it the traditional Latino way, Tres Leches. I never knew about it until I read the comment section here.
My grandma taught me to make choc icing and pull it off ,so it's like a thick chocolate syrup and we always poked holes in the cake it goes in the cake over the cake , it's Sooo good
OMG! I came up with an incredible hack by accident. I took a hamburger (just an ordinary hamburger, nothing special), then, just for the he!! of it I added some cheese of all things! It actually worked well together - it was GREAT!!
Wait wait wait... made I'm new to baking excellent cakes, lol . regular box cake gal over here. 😌 Do you mind telling me more about this chocolate cake mouth watering dessert? Please and thanks 🙏🏿
This is the GOAT of cakes. And it’s not a hack lol 😂 it’s just tres leches cake which is the best kind of cake in the world hands down. Thanks Mexico! 🇲🇽
*gasp!* it’s a tres leches cake! And it’s beeeeeutiful! The family from Guatemala I used to live with used to serve this, never saw it made. It’s lovely!
Ngl I would've just taken the whole tray of fruits and just dumped them over onto the cake and let them be wherever they fall. 2 types of people in the world.
Soo this is a variation on a cake I make for my birthday, a "hot fudge cake" aka a chocolate poke cake. 1. Bake a German Chocolate cake mix per instructions on the box. When it is out of the oven and slightly cooled, use a wooden spoon to poke holes like she did. 3. Poor a can of sweetened condensed milk And a can of hot fudge. 4. Generous layer of coolwhip on top. Put in the fridge to chill slightly before serving so it doesn't fall apart. That is where I stop but I've seen people drizzle things on the top like more fudge and/or caramel. Or crush oreos on top. It's whatever you like really. The "Summer" version is more what she did. A yellow cake except I just use strawberries. Poor the crushed strawberries like you use for strawberry short cake into the holes, layer with coolwhip and add fresh cut on top!! :)
@@karley3679 If you look for this clip "Seth MacFarlane performs his Family Guy voices | The Graham Norton Show - BBC", Seth was a guest on Graeme Norton here in the UK and he does his various voices including Stewie saying Coolwhip lol
We black folk call that a poke cake. But instead of three types of milk, we use jello and fruit juice or pudding and either a white or caramel glaze on top. But this looks good too! I think every ethnicity has a version of this. Would be cool to see what each could literally bring to a table.
I grew up eating it...with jello inside.. snd dream whip ...aka cool whip.. mixed with pudding on top..but I refuse to eat tres leches..soggy and gag inducing
That isn't a hack that's tres leches cake and you are supposed to cool the cake completely, poke holes in the cake with a fork, use whole milk, mix the milks before pouring over the cake making sure the edges get enough, chill in the fridge for at least an hour for the cake to soak up the milk before finally topping with whipped cream and fruit
Forr lactose intolerant folks, u can use lactaid, non-dairy dry milk (rehydrate as directed, add powdered sugar and bring to a boil to make condensed milk, if its not as thick as reg condensed, mix equal parts corn starch and water together and add bit by bit til the right consistency is achieved) almond and or oat milk!

If you have any Mexican friends, get them to take you to a Mexican restaurant with a good tres leches cake. Or even better, to their mom or grandma’s house to try theirs. It will change your view entirely.
This is a “Tres Leches” cake and normally doesn’t have fruits over. Sometimes you can put powdered cinnamon (a little bit)
This is actually cuatro leches since it has whipped cream. The original recipe has turron (meringue) on top.
And my lactose intolerance would blow that cake into the next room 😂
How is everyone *not* over everything being a "hack" yet?? I never thought anything would be worse than the *"EXTREME!"* phase, but all of these people claiming nearly everything they do is a "hack" have proven me wrong. 😖
Looks like a bunch of mexicans Tryin to give their self airs to me. 😂😂😂😂😂 ( also looks like one Soggy “cake” too)
My mom did this all the time when I was a kid. I’ve been making my cakes this way. The only thing we don’t do is add the whipped cream or fruit. We just poke holes and do the condensed milk right on top. Love these types of cakes!!
Tres Leches is a Mexican cake. Especially with fresh fruit. Nice summer dessert.
This is my favorite cake! I didnt know tres leches was so easy to make.
Lol,right tres leches at every Mexican party I've been to.
You didn't show the finished product long enough! Really wanted to see the cut slice for a few seconds longer, looks delicious
She couldn't wait to eat it😂😂😂
I make tres leches with coconut milk (condensed, regular and cream) and add pineapple juice from canned pineapple chunks. Omg, it tastes so tropical, it’s become my family’s favorite!
It's just tres leches. Congratulations on discovering fire 😔👌✨
😂😂😂
Back in the 80’s (?), there was a pudding commercial where they poured the pudding over the top of the holes, then refrigerated it. When the pudding set up, you’d add frosting. It was a very good and moist cake.
It's called a poke cake
Now they just add a cup of pudding in the cake mix.
It's not the same as pouring pudding into poked holes.
@@AdmiringFlamingoBirds-bc7np It's better
Tres Leches! The fruit on the cake is gorgeous! 🍓 🥝
To make sure the milk mixture is soaked more evenly, you can cut the top crust of the cake off.😊
My Mom made Poke Cakes all the time. She would use pudding to cover it and it was so good!! Yellow cake with chocolate pudding was My Favorite!! 😍
❤
My mom did Jello poke cakes growing up... Funfetti or vanilla cake and strawberry jello topped with cool whip and kept I. The fridge was Soo Good in the summer ❤
Jello Gelitan was another poke cake filler It's really good too.😋
@@vnette9777that was my favorite cake growing up. Would ask for it each year on my birthday. 😍
Tres leches is the way to go!
You didn't even let me see the end results. you didn't even let me see the cake long enough after u finished.
It’s because it’s not a hack. This is a recipe called Tres Leches
try hitting the pause button
Soggy maybe
She didn't let YOU see it? She let all the rest of us see.
Maybe she's mad at you or doesn't like you so she didn't let you see the rest. She even let the rest of us taste a sample, it was yummy.
Everybody's so creative!
They calling this a hack??? Call it “i just learned how to make Tres Leches” 😂
Tres leches is one of my favorite cakes. Thank you for this recipe.
Three milkshakes 🥛 is a Latin recipe for years , and I don’t like fruit a lot 😅
Yes this cake is called Tres Leches cake. One of my favorite cakes ever . It's a Spanish cake recipe. ❤❤❤❤
And I thought that Yanks liked sugar,thank heaven for some fruit.
What is the cake made with?
uh...Mexican cake
It's A Mexican dessert, Spanish is Spain 🤦♀️😂🤦♀️🤦♀️
@@teridumbrigue7643 i grew up eating it in Chile in the 60s-early 70s.
Tres leche. Best cake ever
Use butter instead of vegetable/olive oil when baking a cake or cupcakes. So much more moist & delicious!
Always poke holes if you're pouring anything on the cake other than icing! My grandma taught me that lonnng ago! 💕 miss her so much 😢
My granny taught me too. She called it a poke cake and only used evaporated/condensed milk. I’m excited to try it the traditional Latino way, Tres Leches. I never knew about it until I read the comment section here.
Send your love she’ll receive it ❤ and wish for her to be well and free :) and be happy too, knowing she isn’t gone ☺️
My grandma taught me to make choc icing and pull it off ,so it's like a thick chocolate syrup and we always poked holes in the cake it goes in the cake over the cake , it's Sooo good
Omg I had tres leches cake for the first time yesterday without the fruit tho !!! It was sooooo moist and yummmm
I'm not even Hispanic but after the 3rd milk I was like wait a min tres leches lol
me too lol
Every Hispanic/Spanish person loves this cake. 3 leches. Fire
Not true.
@@olgahernandez6792 pretty accurate.
@@olgahernandez6792agreed wet cake 🤮
Love Tres Leches cake and this looks amazing ❤
OMG! I came up with an incredible hack by accident. I took a hamburger (just an ordinary hamburger, nothing special), then, just for the he!! of it I added some cheese of all things! It actually worked well together - it was GREAT!!
Trying to imagine mi abuela face when I tell her I discovered this hack on RUclips 😅…
Baby this is just tres leches, the staple of every Hispanic kids birthday when they just wanted chocolate 😂
LOL
I could imagine losing patience and just dumping the fruit on top, bet it would still get eaten. But this looks LOVELY
😅😅😅
😂😂😂...agreed
I haven't laughed this hard in such a long time... and that was just reading the comments! 😂😂😂
Try pouring two packs of jello mix only using the hot water over the cake with the holes in it let set and top with whipped cream so much better 😊
Chocolate cake, condensed milk, caramel then whipped cream frosting. To die for!
OHHH MYY GODD!!❤❤❤DEFINITELY TRYING THIS!!
Yes! Best poke cake ever!
Wait wait wait... made I'm new to baking excellent cakes, lol . regular box cake gal over here. 😌
Do you mind telling me more about this chocolate cake mouth watering dessert? Please and thanks 🙏🏿
Too much sugr
@@user-yw8rx3ss3j so don’t make it 🤷🏻♀️
We know what it is.. she’s provoking us to engage in her channel. Good or bad, it is good for her channel
I don’t the comments understand the straw is the hack, not the recipe 😂
This is the GOAT of cakes. And it’s not a hack lol 😂 it’s just tres leches cake which is the best kind of cake in the world hands down. Thanks Mexico! 🇲🇽
*gasp!* it’s a tres leches cake! And it’s beeeeeutiful! The family from Guatemala I used to live with used to serve this, never saw it made. It’s lovely!
Made in Italy since forever. Called rag top cake
Mexicans make it better!
Lol I'm not even Mexican, I just wanna start some shit 😁
I've been eating my cake in a bowl of milk for years. It's so good
Wow great life hack
OK, the decorations on the cake with the fruit was superior. Good job.
Ngl I would've just taken the whole tray of fruits and just dumped them over onto the cake and let them be wherever they fall. 2 types of people in the world.
Love this tres leche cake!
This woman has made a living annoying people on social media without blinking and it’s hilarious. 😂😂😂
Columbus “discovered “ a land people were already on.
She discovered a cake hack that belongs to a whole culture. 🤦🏾
OH my God that looks so good I didn't know whether to eat it or hang it on a wall as a work of art
Soo this is a variation on a cake I make for my birthday, a "hot fudge cake" aka a chocolate poke cake. 1. Bake a German Chocolate cake mix per instructions on the box. When it is out of the oven and slightly cooled, use a wooden spoon to poke holes like she did. 3. Poor a can of sweetened condensed milk And a can of hot fudge. 4. Generous layer of coolwhip on top. Put in the fridge to chill slightly before serving so it doesn't fall apart. That is where I stop but I've seen people drizzle things on the top like more fudge and/or caramel. Or crush oreos on top. It's whatever you like really. The "Summer" version is more what she did. A yellow cake except I just use strawberries. Poor the crushed strawberries like you use for strawberry short cake into the holes, layer with coolwhip and add fresh cut on top!! :)
I cannot hear the word Coolwhip in any other voice but Stewie from family guy as voiced by Seth McFarlane lol
@@dianeyoung2914 I'm going to have to look that up, I've never seen that show!
@@karley3679 If you look for this clip "Seth MacFarlane performs his Family Guy voices | The Graham Norton Show - BBC", Seth was a guest on Graeme Norton here in the UK and he does his various voices including Stewie saying Coolwhip lol
"You mean to tell me, for 40 years, I could've been doing this?! There ain't no way!"
It's a beautiful dessert that takes time and patience for such a beautiful result! Thank you for sharing this recipe with us🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
We black folk call that a poke cake. But instead of three types of milk, we use jello and fruit juice or pudding and either a white or caramel glaze on top. But this looks good too! I think every ethnicity has a version of this. Would be cool to see what each could literally bring to a table.
Right. So basically, she made a tres leche poke cake 😂
Agree! But this is certainly Tres Leches cakes.
❤ I was thinking the same thing.
I grew up eating it...with jello inside.. snd dream whip ...aka cool whip.. mixed with pudding on top..but I refuse to eat tres leches..soggy and gag inducing
Sounds nasty! Sorry
That isn't a hack that's tres leches cake and you are supposed to cool the cake completely, poke holes in the cake with a fork, use whole milk, mix the milks before pouring over the cake making sure the edges get enough, chill in the fridge for at least an hour for the cake to soak up the milk before finally topping with whipped cream and fruit
Beautiful colors! 👍🏽👍🏽
FK! THAT LOOKS SO FREAKING BOMB!!!!
Love Tres Leche!!! Big hugs from Belinda Greene
Yes...Tres Leche...❤
I know this already!! Tres leches .. 3 milks.. we are already educated in many years of many recipes from many countries.. deliciouso !!
🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 I almost ate my phone watching this!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Forr lactose intolerant folks, u can use lactaid, non-dairy dry milk (rehydrate as directed, add powdered sugar and bring to a boil to make condensed milk, if its not as thick as reg condensed, mix equal parts corn starch and water together and add bit by bit til the right consistency is achieved) almond and or oat milk!
Love this!
@@tashabanks4080 n.p.. gotta look out 4 us Lactose intolerant baddies lol 👌🏻
My stomach bubblin 😢
@@DeborahHudgens how? The recipe i use is literally for lactose intolerant folk.. my stomach don't bubble at all with this and all it takes is 2 bites of anything with regular milk in it to make me look 7 months pregnant and projectile vomit...
Coconut milk 😻
Very artistic...looks good!
Tres leches. Fave dessert. Dont love that she’s not naming it as such
Omg! Looks soooo good!!🤤😋
I love this cake! And you made it look beautiful ❤️
