Pastel Tres Leches Unveiled:

A sponge cake soaked in three different types of milk – hence the name, Tres Leches (Three Milks). The cake absorbs the milky concoction, resulting in an incredibly moist, yet not mushy, dessert. It’s a sweet symphony of condensed milk, evaporated milk, and heavy cream that dances on your palate.
