I love making tres leche cakes for get togethers at my house or at a friends house. So easy to make and you can use any fruits! I am not a coconut lover.... but Coco Lopez coconut cream was excellent! we actually like to fold the left over cream into whipped cream and use as a fruit dip or on top of pancakes =) yummy! This is an easy recipe that will wow everyone!

Each month, we hold a luncheon at work. The monthly theme was "Mexican." I brought this cake, and it dissappeared so quickly! For "canned cream of coconut", I skimmed the top half of a can of coconut milk. I also used store-bought whipped cream. But everyone coudn't get enough. Great recipe!

I made this for a card party and everyone loved it so much they all wanted the recipe for themselves. This has now become one of my favorite recipes to make.

I had never made a Tres Leches cake before but was introduced to it through a resturant. I fell in love with it! So, naturally I decided to try making one. One word of warning....follow the directions! I ended up using the ENTIRE can of coconut instead of a 1/2 cup...oops...other then that is was wonderful and different then traditional cake.

this was a great recipe! I made it as a welcome back cake for my fiance and his family and they adored it! There were a few thikngs the second time I made it that I noticed definitely made an improvement. First, I used rum extract for the sauce and it really made the flavor exquisite. Second, I decorated the cake with the fruit ding a combination design centering the cake with a heart shaped strawberry to ad a ittle special touch. Last, I made a litte extra sauce and extra fruit as those are the best parts of the cake!! Hope I helped give you a few ideas for your preparation.

This recipe was just ok, and I think two things would have helped: cooking it for less time, and adding the fruit. I ate it plain, warmed up (which helped immensely), but it was nothing to "wow" about. Which is sad, because I really WANTED to love this cake! I won''t make it again.

I made this cake for our neighborhood Cinco de Mayo party, and everyone just raved about it. Later, I tried the simpler version using yellow cake mix, and it was not as light and refreshing. Those who got to try both preferred this recipe (including myself).

I made it for a multi-cultural get together. Since we were part of the hispanic culture, I just had to make this recipe. It was absolutely delicious! Everyone raved about it. This ingredient calls for a cake from scratch and quite honesty this was my first. It was simple and well worth it. Just remember the longer it''s in the refrigerator teh better. I also agree the portions should be small, it its very rich. Personally I used the vanilla in the sauce, I will try the rum next time or skip both all together.

this cake is extremely rich, so small servings are recommended. Let it sit in the fridge for at least 3-4 hours for it to fully absorb the sauce, it is worth the wait. Use this recipe with a couple of substitutions. Always go for milk (coconut if you have it) instead of water, and melted butter instead of oil. Don''t use a box mix. They are a great convenience, but this recipe calls for a scratch cake. Trust me, it is all worth it in the end.

I made this cake for a potluck at work with a Hispanic theme. It was a HUGE hit! I used rum instead of the vanilla in the cream sauce. Just about everyone who tried it wanted the recipe. It was also very easy to make.
