Tres leches cake is a decadent sponge cake soaked in three types of milk - regular whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, and evaporated milk. The cake has a light and fluffy texture despite being saturated in the milk mixture. To make it, you'll first bake the sponge cake, then soak it in the milk mixture, and finally top it with whipped cream. The cake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
