Equipment
- 13x9 inch baking pan
- hand mixer
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 box yellow or vanilla cake mix Betty Crocker, Duncan Hines
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs room temperature
- baking spray with flour
Tres Leches
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk 14 oz
- 1 can evaporated milk 12 oz
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Whipped Cream Frosting
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2/3 cup confectioners sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray baking pan with baking spray with flour.
- Prepare cake mix according to package directions. Pour mixture into prepared pan.
- Bake as directed on the box, (25-30 minutes) or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool cake in pan and place on a wire rack for 20 minutes.
- While the cake is cooling, combine sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk and heavy whipping cream. Use a whisk and combine until blended.
- Using a fork, generously poke holes all over the top of the warm cake. Pour milk mixture slowly over the entire cake, filling all the holes. Continue to cool on the wire rack for 30 additional minutes. Then refrigerate, covered for at least 3 hours. For best results refrigerate overnight.
- In a bowl, beat heavy whipping cream until it begins to thicken. Add confectioners' sugar and pure vanilla extract. Beat until soft peaks form. Spread whipped cream frosting over the entire cake.
- Add your favorite toppings and cut into slices.
- Serve and enjoy!
