Has enyone tried this? I hate to say it but as far as I am concerned it is a bust.....the cake doesnt rise or look good either.....rather messy as well..dissapointed me this morning.
Maybe
I did it wrong.....
I have never tried it and I don't think it works it is hard enough to get a recipe for tres leches from scratch as is. I have made tres leches for myself but eat the whole cake myself so I avoid it (3,000 calories a bite) LOL and I don't know anyone who likes it besides my mexican relatives. some American friends say they like tres leches then when they try my cake they are dissapointed I just don't think they have had the real thing so they expect a totally different cake. Hope this helps
I have never used the recipe on CC but have made this Tres Leches Cake recipe from recipezaar. It is delicious.

I have made the Tres Leche cake from www.ladunibakery.com. Go to their recipes and you will find it. It's the best. However, you must change some of their instructions. You need to use two eight inch pans . Then they have this soaking syrup or sauce that you soak the layers with much like a simple syrupl Following their instructions it made about six cups. Too much for my taste. I used about a half cup for each layer. Their recipe doesn't call for filling. I used filling making my own dulce de leche and cream cheese. Sarah Phillips from baking911 helped me with this. Trust me this is a great cake. I loved the meringue. If you don't have a littl butane torch just use your broiler.
Ditto with ChrisJ....that recipe is wonderful!!!
