Certified Pretend Chef
While on vacation in Aruba at the beginning of this month, we ate at a Cuban restaurant. The meal in all was outstanding but the hit of the night for me was a piece of tres leches cake I ordered for dessert. I'd never had it before so thought I would give it a try. WOW! It was outstanding and I want to be able to make it.
I have searched the internet and found many recipes in two different categories. One cake is made with egg whites, sugar, flour and vanilla. The other is a more normal yellow cake recipe.
The tres leches part is fairly standard.
Most of the recipes call for a whipped cream frosting. One calls for a meringue topping.
Anyone have an authentic recipe?
