This is one moist and delicious tres leche cake that everyone will want a second slice of! The slight caramelization from the condensed milk, combined with the cream and the evaporated milk, really gives this cake a distinct taste that we loved. We had never made a whipped cream frosting with corn syrup as a sweetener before, but love the light sweet taste that it brings to the recipe. A simple and impressive dessert.
Note: You can forgo microwaving the condensed milk and use a double boiler. Gently boil and stir the milk until golden brown.
