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.
