One of my favorite cakes in the world is a tres leches cake. When we lived in Texas my mom would always buy them for us for our birthday or special occasions. Now that I live in rural Missouri is kind of hard to find a Mexican bakery around here. So this is a super easy recipe that I improvised. I make this cake when I have company or for my kids and husbands birthday. Now is one of their favorite cakes.
