Call the Milkman: Cinnamon Tres Leches
Many a long time ago, I first heard of this now seemingly ubiquitous dessert when Andouille raved about his aunt’s version of this sweet, milky cake.
“OHMYGODCHRISSY! Tres leches is ugghhhh. THE. BEST.”
I know you don’t know Andouille…but…really everyone should. He is really just the most colorful person ever. Perhaps I’ll get him to guest post for me some day. He’s a very busy and important lawyer, so I’m not sure he would be up for it…but I’ll work on it.
Anyway, it’s no surprise that many a nation, specifically those in Latin America and the Caribbean, wants to lay claim to inventing this cake and each has its own version. Some use a base of butter cake (like this one), while others go for the sponge. Some recipes use heavy cream, others regular milk. Some are frosted with whipped cream or a meringue, some are topped with nothing at all. However, the consensus agrees that it’s the cake of three milks. And all agree that it’s ugghhhh…THE. BEST.
Despite the uncertain origin, I knew that when it came time to pull out the cake pan and turn on the oven to make Andouille’s favorite dessert, of course I had to ask him for his aunt’s famous recipe. Problem: she died. And so did the recipe with her. (more…)
