Entertaining with Chef Eddie
Pastel
de Tres Leches
This traditional Latin American cake recipe translates as "three
milks cake." It is sweet, moist, delicious and easy to make.
The recipe starts with a basic one-layer yellow cake and the
three milks used to pour over the cake are heavy cream, sweetenend
condensed milk and evaporated milk. I've also added a bit of rum
to give it a kick.
The meringue topping on the cake complements this dessert perfectly.
In the Caribbean they like to use coconut milk in place of the
condensed milk in this recipe. Feel free to play around with the
ingredients to make this recipe your own.
