Tres Leches Strawberry Crunch Cake Recipe

Are you looking for the perfect dessert to celebrate Cinco de Mayo? Look no further! This Tres Leches Strawberry Crunch Cake recipe is a game-changer. With its rich, yet light and fluffy cake soaked in a creamy, sweet milk mixture, and topped with a fluffy vanilla whipped topping, it's like a dream come true.

The secret to this cake's success lies in the use of three types of milk: evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and whole milk. This classic trio gives the cake its name 'Tres Leches,' which literally means 'Three Milks.' The result is a moist and decadent dessert that will leave your guests begging for more.

But don't just take our word for it! You can customize this recipe to your taste by replacing the evaporated milk with coconut milk or almond milk, the sweetened condensed milk with sweetened condensed coconut milk, and the whole milk with half-and-half or heavy cream. However, we highly recommend making the recipe as is for the best results.

To make this cake, you'll need to start with a batch of our How to Make Box Cake Better using 1 (15.25 oz) package vanilla cake mix and 1 (3.4 oz) box vanilla pudding mix. Yes, you read that right - we're talking about a box of cake mix! But don't worry, this recipe is so good, nobody will ever know the difference.

Once your cake is baked and cooled, it's time to soak it in the creamy milk mixture. This is where things get really interesting. The combination of evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and whole milk creates a rich and velvety texture that's simply divine.

But wait, there's more! After soaking the cake in the milk mixture, you'll need to top it with a fluffy vanilla whipped topping. This is where things get really easy. Simply mix together Pudding Mix, Powdered Sugar, Salt, Whole Milk, and Cool Whip for an amped-up cool whip frosting that's absolutely perfect as a topping for this cake.

And finally, sprinkle some cinnamon on top of the whipped topping and serve with optional strawberries for a delicious and visually stunning dessert.

So what are you waiting for? Give this Tres Leches Strawberry Crunch Cake recipe a try today and experience the magic of three milks!
