They say there’s always room for dessert, and with the wide variety of sweet treats available for delivery in Manila right now, we’re sure you’re always looking for new pastries and sugary concoctions to have after a good meal. Let’s talk about one particular cake that needs your attention: Tres leches! This cake is of Latin American origin, and has been around probably since the mid-1900s. When translated from Spanish, its name means “three milks,” which tells what you can expect from every bite: Moist, milky goodness.

Tres leches is a butter or sponge cake that is soaked in three types of milk: Condensed milk, evaporated milk, and heavy cream. Its topped with a light, airy frosting usually made with whipped cream. Trust us when we say that the tres leches cake is definitely worth the calories!
