But I'd never heard of the cake. Ana went on to explain to me what Tres Leches Cake is: a light, airy sponge cake soaked with a mixture of three milks: evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and heavy cream. Some say the cake comes from Nicaragua; others, Mexico. Sweetened condensed milk, whole milk and whipping cream are the traditional "three milks" that are mixed together and poured into "poke" holes, saturating this tres leches cake recipe and transforming it from an everyday sheet cake into a moist, flavorful and deeply rich dessert. It's perfect for Cinco de Mayo!
