Overview

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A Tres leches cake, or Pastel Tres leches (Spanish, Three milk cake ), or Pan Tres Leches (Spanish, Three milk bread ), is a sponge cake-in some recipes, a butter cake-soaked in three kinds of milk: evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream. When butter is not used, the tres leches is a very light cake, with many air bubbles. This distinct texture is why it does not have a soggy consistency, despite being soaked in a mixture of three types of milk. The cake is very popular in many parts of Latin America. The origins of the tres leches are disputed. The Nestle company also claims to have helped the tres leches recipe evolve, during World War II. The idea for creating a cake soaked in a liquid is probably of European origin, as similar cakes, such as rum cake from Puerto Rico and tiramisu from Italy, use this method. In 2004, the ice cream company Haagen-Dazs for a limited time released a tres leches-flavored ice cream, containing pieces of rum-soaked tres leches in a sweet-cream ice cream.
