Made these for Christmas morning - delicious - instead of 12 I too got more - about 17 - they had the consistency similar to angel food cake - but with that hint of almond flavor. Will be making these again!!

I made these for my family and found that they were a bit dry. It made 24 cupcakes instead of 12 to my surprise. I'm use to Tres Leches being a bit more moist and I have made it with evaporated milk, regular milk and sweetened condensed milk. The Almonds gave it a nice taste and different. We enjoyed them. I found they taste better out of the oven not at room temperature. It does not state if you should refrigerate them or not.
