More Tres Leche Cake

I did not center well on the plate. Frosted with homemade whipped cream and smooth out with heated tools.

This is such a popular recipe for me, I get asked to make it all the time. This post has information about where to find the recipe. This cake was made a a pink themed dinner party. It was the first time I did not soak the cake over night, I soaked it the morning of the party. I almost used the whole mixture of condensed and evaporated milk. The cake was just a moist it was almost like a gusher though, you would bite into the cake and then get the milk mixture in your mouth. 
What is tres leches? 3 milks :) it is a great cake recipe once put together. The recipe for the cake it self is not sweet but once you pour on the condensed and evaporate milk layer it with homemade whipped cream and fresh berries it is very sweet. Many people like it because it does make you feel weighed down. 
Now my favorite thing is homemade WHIPPED CREAM!! you will never love any other cream the same way. The only reason I used the canned stuff because if come in low fat variations but when i bake for other heavy whipping cream, 1 cup of sugar and vanillla!!! Try messing around with other extracts as well :) Keep the adventure going. 

See all of the milky-ness 

Strawberry Bread

Very Yummy!

I was in a strawberry pickle...we had too many strawberries left over! so I was on a mission to find a recipe that used a lot of strawberries, not just a few slices. Strawberry Bread Recipe was my answer. A few modifications I added almost 3 cups of strawberries and if really does need as many as you can put in it. I did not add any nuts, I added a teaspoon of vanilla, and I was light on the addition of cinnamon.  Also I added a brown sugar, flour, butter on top before baking, that really make this a keeper!! 


It took me 50minutes to bake


Great as breakfast or dessert. It is a very moist cake, not very light.
