A
tres leches cake
(lit. 'three milks cake') (Spanish: pastel de tres leches, torta de tres
leches or bizcocho de tres leches), also known as pan tres leches ("three milks 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, 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.
