Tres Leches Cake
Light sponge cake soaked in three milks (evaporated, condensed, and heavy cream) until impossibly moist.
Why It Works
The egg-foam sponge has an open crumb that absorbs the milk mixture like a sponge without becoming soggy; three different milk products provide layered dairy richness at different fat levels.
