UBE Tres Leches Cake
I love Tres Leches Cake. There’s a recipe right here, adapted from The Pioneer Woman. That one uses chiffon cake from scratch. Now let’s make an UBE version AND let’s use a cake mix instead. Trust me, it works!!!
Also, instead of whipping heavy cream for frosting, I decided to use a tub of whipped fluffy cake frosting. I still whipped it though just to give it that really whipped consistency and easier to spread on the cake. It’s pretty whipped! 😄😌
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350°. Make the yellow cake according to the box instructions. Combine the box contents with 3 eggs, 1 cup water, and 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a mixing bowl. Mix until well-blended then add 2 tsp of UBE extract. Mix a couple more minutes to combine.
- Pour the batter into the pan. Bake in the preheted oven for 28-30 minutes or until a clean toothpick comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking combine the 'LECHES' mixture. In a bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, regular whole milk(use the condensed milk can to measure) and 2 tsp of UBE extract. Cover and chill in the fridge until cake is ready.
- Let the cake cool down completely after baking. Once cooled down, poke the cake all over with a fork.
- Gently pour the LECHES/MILK all over the cake. Watch magic happens as the cakes soaks up the milk. Cover the pan with a foil and chill in the fridge for 3-4 hours.
- Place the whipped fluffy white cake frosting in a bowl and mix for 3-5minutes.
- Spread the whipped frosting on top of the cake after the chilling process.
- Put it back in fridge until ready to serve for dessert.
Cut in squares to serve!
