Notes

  • After the cake is taken out of the oven, immediately poke holes in the cake using a chopstick, straw, or skewer.
  • Be sure to choose fresh, ripe strawberries as they will give the best flavor and presentation! 
  • As you're pouring the tres leches mixture over the cake, take your time and make sure the mixture you pour soaks fully into the cake before adding more.
