It’s one of my fav cakes.
Just YUM that’s all I can say I watch your show all the time with my mom
We love the Pioneer Woman and can’t wait to visit The Merc, especially since it’s only a few hours from our home. This recipe unfortunately didn’t turn out very well for us. It was too soggy for us to even enjoy. I double checked the ingredients and I’m still unsure where we went wrong. Can’t wait to try another recipe with hopefully better luck!
It was a hit at my house. I love that it is such a simple desert to make. I baked the cake. My 13 year old daughter enjoyed adding the milks, cool whip, and sprinkles. It was very light. Prefect summer cake.
It was pretty good. I made it with cheap store-brand ingredients though, which may have affected the quality of the final product.
Made this today and everyone had seconds! Super easy and ridiculously delicious. Thank you!
This looks so good and easy. Does it refrigerate well? Can a bake the day before I serve or does it get soggy? Thanks
I have made your original Tres Leches Cake at least a dozen times in the past. It is absolutely delicious and worth the time of baking from scratch. These days with everyone home and having to make all the meals, I knew that I would be making this Shortcut version of TLC! Tres Leches Cake IS Tender Loving Care during our pandemic. We all love it! Be safe and healthy. Thanks, Ree!
Love this! My family loves it!
Loved making this easy recipe after seeing it on the food network. I substituted whipping cream for milk and added a bit more vanilla and topped with extra creamy whipped cream. What a great (and easy) recipe!
