Directions

1 Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Spray bottom only of 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray.
2 In large bowl, beat cake mix, water, oil, vanilla, whole eggs and egg whites with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour into pan.
3 Bake 29 to 35 minutes or until edges are golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand 5 minutes. Poke top of hot cake all over with fork or wooden skewer, wiping fork occasionally to reduce sticking.
4 In medium bowl, stir condensed milk, evaporated milk and skim milk until blended. Slowly pour evenly over top of cake. Cover; refrigerate about 1 hour or until mixture is absorbed into cake.
5 Spread whipped topping over cake. Refrigerate until serving time. Garnish with strawberries. Store in refrigerator.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

What is "Healthified"? We've replaced ingredients with great-tasting alternatives to create better-for-you recipes that are just as yummy as the original.

This moist cake gets its name because it's soaked in three milks ("tres leches" in Spanish). The cake can vary by region, sometimes containing fruit or chocolate, but the three-milk soaking is the key to its authenticity.

Fresh raspberries would be equally as nice as serving with fresh strawberries.

This is the first time I ever tried a Tres Leches Cake. I normally never have seconds on dessert, but on this one, I simply couldn't help it! I'm so impressed with it, I plan on doing it again next week for the potluck at work! This is a MUST have!!!

WOW... this is the first thing that we felt after the first bite... I have used this recipe before , like 3 years ago a few times , and every time i make it it was a hit .. everyone would rave about it, even my hubby would market my cooking skills by saying i make the best tres leches in town period. then we forgotten about it. until last week, i came across this recipe again and made the cake... the whole thing was almost gone in minutes, with them having seconds... its tastes soooo yummy u cant tell its low fat,,, just like the real thing but with less guilt... will do it again this weekend for my daughters bday party... my all time fav cake EVERRRRRRR

This cake was just about perfect. It was perfectly moist, perfectly sweet, and perfectly light. The strawberries are a great touch and add a little burst of flavor.
