Pastel de Tres Leches

One of the things I miss most about LA is definitely the great variety of food it has got to offer. From excellent Chinese, Japanese, to Mexican food- the possibilities are endless. About 2 years ago, one of my students' moms, invited me to have a slice of her homemade Tres Leches cake. A nibble of it took me back to memory lane of my childhood. I absolutely LOVED this cake when I was a child and could not possibly believe I'd forgotten all about it!

SeƱora Ruiz's recipe was an instant hit and I knew I had to ask for the recipe. Mastering this recipe is no easy task and takes lots of practice...but it's so well worth it. I love having it with coffee.
