Tres Leches Cake

D. loves Tres Leches Cake and I found a way to make a Tres Leches Cake at home, almost from scratch (I use a cake mix rather than making the cake itself from scratch).  This is his typical request if I ask him what he would like for dessert.

First make the cake by mixing together cake mix, water, oil, vanilla, and eggs.  Bake according to the directions on the box at 350 degrees in a greased 9x13" pan.

Once the cake is done, let it cool for 5 minutes before using a fork and poking the top of the cake about every 1/2", wiping the fork clean as needed to reduce sticking.

Then mix together your three milks (sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and heavy cream).  Slowly pour over the cake, allowing it to absorb into the cake.

When serving, place each piece of cake on a plate and top with whipped cream.

Tres Leches Cake
Ingredients:
1 box yellow cake mix
1 1/4 cups water
1 Tbsp. oil
2 tsp. vanilla
4 eggs
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 can evaporated milk
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Redi-Whip Whipping Cream

Steps:
1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray bottom and sides of 9x13" pan.
2.  In large bowl, combine cake mix, water, oil, vanilla, and eggs.  Mix until fully combined.  Pour into greased pan.
3.  Bake as directed on the box for a 9x13" pan.  
4.  After removing from the oven, let cool for 5 minutes.  Then poke the top of the hot cake about every 1/2 inch with a fork, wiping the fork as needed to reduce sticking.
5.  In a large bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and heavy cream.  Carefully pour this milk mixture over the top of the cake, allowing time for some to soak in before you pour more.
6.  Cover and refrigerate for about 1 hour or until the mixture is completely absorbed into the cake.
7.  When serving, top each piece of cake with whipped cream.
