Tres Leches Cake

6/1/17 As I was driving home from school on my way to a luncheon, I called my friend Mary Lee and asked are we playing bridge tonight and where are we playing bridge. May Lee says we are playing and its my turn to host. Oh my! Well it doesn't take much to pull this together. Just need a clean house and bridge set up and then prizes and dessert. What to serve for dessert. It's always a dilemma with so many choices. I decide simple and cool. This is an opportunity to make a Tres Leches Cake. Always wanted to try this.

A plain cake is needed for the basis. There is always a box cake but I decide to make a scratch cake. The filling is 3 milks: Eagle Brand, evaporated and whole milk. When cool, top with real whipping cream. Garnish with macerated strawberries and blueberries. It was a hit with the clean plate Bridge Club!!

This recipe originates from Latin America. In order to promote sales of either evaporated or condensed milk, this cake recipe was on the label of the can.
