Refreshing Strawberry Tres Leches Cake Recipe
Nothing quite compares to a dessert that looks stunning on the table but requires minimal effort in the kitchen. If you want a sweet treat that guarantees empty plates and rave reviews, this Strawberry Tres Leches Cake delivers on every front.
Tres leches, which translates to "three milks," is a classic sponge cake soaked in a rich, sweet milk mixture. We take that traditional favorite and give it a fruity, colorful twist. By using a strawberry cake base and topping it with fresh, sugar-dusted strawberries, you get a dessert that feels instantly refreshing.

Notes/Special Instructions:
If you prefer, you can use homemade whipped cream instead of cool whip to frost the cake. To do so, beat together 1 pint of heavy whipping cream, 3 Tbsp of powdered sugar, and ½ tsp vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
