Tres Leches Cake (which we ate almost EVERYDAY in Costa Rica)

Ingredients

• 1 yellow cake mix (with pudding) baked as directed in 13 by 9-inch pan

For topping mixture:

• 1 can evaporated milk
• 1 can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 pint heavy whipping cream

To finish:

• Whipped cream, to cover cake
• Crushed pineapple, macadamia nuts or cherries (all optional)

Directions

Poke holes in the cake with a fork all over. Pour topping mixture over cake. Let mixture absorb completely in refrigerator.

all the decadant layers in their glory :)

I opted to mix the crushed pineapple in with the the cool whip then covered the cake with it.  If you want sprinkle sweetened coconut over top of cake or place a cherry in various places. I have seen it served all of these ways! 

{topped w/ toasted coconut}

Serve and Enjoy!!
