Tres Leches Cake

I'm so happy to say that my second Latin dessert attempt went SO much better than the first! The tres leches cake went off without a hitch (at least mostly)! I used this recipe from Delish D'Lites.

The first step was to make the cake batter. The only issue I had came when I was trying to separate the whites and yolks - I almost never have any problems doing this but for some reason my first two eggs decided to be difficult and my yolks broke when I cracked open the eggs and fell into my bowl. But I was able to scoop up just about all of the yolk and my whites whipped up beautifully! 

The batter was so light and fluffy it reminded me of a perfect mousse. I kind of wanted to take a big bite of it! But that definitely would not have tasted very good...

After the cake was cool, Lil C and Squidgy helped make holes in the cake with toothpicks and I poured the tres leches mixture (evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream) over the top. The final step was to make a whipped cream topping - it turned the cake into a delicious fluffy cloud.

Everyone gobbled up the cake so I think it's safe to say it tasted as good as it looked. It may involve a number of steps, but it's actually pretty easy so don't be intimidated by it - give it a try!
