Hi my friends, tomorrow I will meet at home my second cousin from Venezuela with all her family. They've been in Florida for a couple of weeks on vacation. So I thought it will be a good idea to have a barbecue (if it doesn't rain). The kids will play and we will have the opportunity to talk. As always my husband will cook the steak, believe me, he knows how to do that!
At this point my mind starts thinking about the dessert. For the sweet lovers the "TRES LECHES cake" is heaven. So I thought, let's make it...
The Tres Leches cake (Three milks cake) is a sponge cake, let's say soaked in three milks: evaporated milk, condensed milk and heavy cream.
We don't know exactly the origin of it, but is usually attributed to Nicaragua and Mexico, but is very popular in Latinoamerica. You can add coconut milk, rum or vanilla to give it a different touch each time you make it.
The idea for creating a cake soaked in liquids is probably of European origins as a rum cake or tiramisu. But I can tell you is delicious!!!!
You may serve it in a big dish or in individual portions as is shown in the picture.
I'm pretty sure I will enjoy this visit from my cousin and I hope they will too...
Hasta la vista baby!!!!
