Tres Leches Cake
Tres Leches Cake
1 Box Duncan Hines golden Butter recipe cake mix
2(12 oz.) cans evaporated milk
1 can condensed milk
16 oz. light cream
3 egg whites
3/4 c. Karo syrup
1 tsp.vanilla
Follow instructions for cake mix. Pour batter into
large Pyrex or 9 X 13 in. cake pan. Bake cake at 350
degrees for 35 min. or until done. Remove from the
oven and let cool in the pan.
In a bowl, mix the evaporated milk, condensed milk,
and light cream. Pierce the cake with a fork so that
it will absorb the milk mixure. Pour the milk mixture
evenly over the cake.
MERINGUE: In a saucepan, melt the Karo syrup and
sugar. Beat the egg whites until foamy. Continue
beaating as you slowly pour in the warm syrup. Beat
until meringue reaches a thick consistency. Aadd 1
tsp. vanilla. Cover cake with merigue and
refrigerate.
****Janet's Topping: Don't use the Meringue...Instead
use this most wonderful topping:
1 1/2 c. heavy whlpping cream
1/4 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
Whip whipping cream, 1 tsp. vanilla, and sugar until
thick. Spread this over the top of the cake before
serving. Be sure and keep cake refrigerated.
Enjoy!!!
***This is a most delicious cake and will be the hit
of the party. It can be used as a Birthday Cake. It
is wonderful to serve after a Mexican Meal.

Hi, I agree with every statement that you have made in the post and I really appreciate your effort in gathering up the information. Thanks for it.
I really appreciate your reading my posts, and making comments. However,
your comments are not 'connected' to my post. For instance, you posted a couple
