Simply put, it consists of a light sponge cake (a genoise) made with large eggs, sugar, and flour, soaked in a sweet milk mixture of three different types of milk, and topped with a delicate meringue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fluffy texture of the cake base and the balanced sweetness of the three-milk mixture make it one of those best cakes you never get tired of repeating. This is the the tres leches cake, Venezuelan style.<\/p>\n\n\n

    A Dessert That Came to Stay<\/strong><\/em><\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    I don’t remember exactly when my Aunt Nancy introduced, for everyone’s enjoyment, her tres leches cake that was so good it became one of her specialties. What’s certain is that this “pastel de tres leches” turned out so divine that there wasn’t a family gathering she didn’t bring it to.<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Don’t ask me why, but I never asked her for the recipe. I guess because I never thought I’d miss that light, fluffy, and moist homey cake that seemed so divine in its simplicity.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Recently, my cousin Adriana and Sophie visited me\u2014daughter and granddaughter of my Aunt Nancy\u2014and feeling so nostalgic, I wanted to make my tres leches cake.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Craving it as I was, I asked Mar\u00eda Carolina Izquiel, a Venezuelan friend, for the recipe, and she recited it from memory not only because she bakes it frequently, but because it’s so easy to make.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Without further ado, I’m sharing this tres leches cake recipe. Not too sweet, it’s perfect as a dessert or snack, and for any celebration with family and friends.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
