Tres Leches Cake Recipe 🍰

Description:

Tres Leches Cake is a beloved dessert hailing from Mexico and South America, renowned for its incredibly moist texture infused with a delightful mixture of “milks.” This recipe was graciously shared with me by Chela, my housekeeper from Mexico, and has become a cherished favorite in my home. The preparation of this cake entails three distinct parts: crafting the cake itself, preparing the indulgent filling, and topping it off with a luscious frosting.
