Delicious! I did change a lot in this recipe. I separated the eggs, whipped the whites at the end and folded them in right before pouring the batter into the pan. In the milk mixture I used the condensed milk, the evaporated milk, 2 shots of Malibu rum (coconut rum), and a can of coconut milk. In the whipped cream, I added another shot of Malibu Rum and just 1/2c sugar. For garnish, I used well drained crushed pineapple, mandarin oranges, and toasted coconut. This was amazing and I will definitely make it again.

Thanks to you I found my recipe. I try the cake just like you wrote it , but it was a little to sweet for my taste. I cut some of the sugar and change the milks a little and top it w/ merengue.. Thank you! Thank you!

Excellent! Followed the recipe exact! Everyone who tried it loved it! Better than some of the "real" ones we have had!

Perfect!!! I looked and looked for a recipe that matched the cake I ate at a high-end Mexican res... Very, Very close! I'm very satisfied and so was my whole family ;)

This cake is absolutely delicious. I made this to a T and there's nothing wrong with this cake. It wasn't soggy, mushy, but I wish there was more milk at the bottom. We first had this at a Puerto Rican bakery and this one is 10000x's better. I can't wait to make it again, with coconut milk, rum or almond extract. So many possibilities.

I made this for my daughter's Mexican themed engagement party. The "kids" seemed to like it (or else they were just being nice!) but for me it was a bit mushy moist.

This was yummy. I had never had Tres Leches before so I don't have anything to compare it to, but the people at my party loved it!

I made this recipe to use up some leftover sweetened condensed and evaporated milk I had sitting in the fridge. I only had 4 oz of each, so I reduced the whole milk (which I substituted with heavy whipping cream) to 1/2 cup. These amounts worked perfectly. I also followed the suggestion of another reviewer and whipped the egg whites separately, then folded them into the batter. Finally, 1 1/2 c. of whipping cream was a bit too much for the topping, so I'd only use 1 c. next time. Overall, this recipe was excellent after a few tweaks. It has a unique flavor and I'll be making it again!

I just made this cake and am VERY disappointed with the recipe. There was WAY to much milk mixture the cake just floated in it. Maybe the instructions are not correct - I read and re-read and followed them exactly as written. My family usually devours my desserts but they did not like this and almost the whole pan is still sitting in my fridge after 3 days.

I made this cake last night for the first time and it was fantastic. The cake was delicious. This is one recipe I will continue to make. The frosting was so light and fluffy my dad told me not to rinse out the bowl it was made in. He cut up some fresh pears and used the remaining frosting on them.

I loved this cake and so did my mother in law. I replaced 1c. whole milk with 1c. coconut milk. The only problem was the cake wouldn't soak up the milk. Next time I will try pouring the milk over the cake while it is still warm.

Excellent!! This tastes exactly like the Tres Leches I had at an expensive restaurant where they probably charge $8-10 for the dessert.

very good! It was a hit, I took it to a large family dinner and it got gobbled up very quickly. I think I was the toughest critic, I thought the cake could've been a little thicker, I did not seperate my egg yolks and whites, but i think next time I will. Very good. I will make this again.
