Tres Leches Cake • The Blonde Abroad

Tres Leches Cake Recipe

Melissa of Plane and Cheesy is bringing a delicious dessert to the ‘Recipes Around the World‘ series!

This recipe has been in my family for as long as I can remember. My aunt created a similar version to my grandma’s and through the years has modified it to her liking. My grandma was the reason that Tres Leches has continued to be such a staple in my family and community!

It is amazing to think that traditions, like this recipe, have flourished through the years. It’s a stand-alone dessert and very filling.

Here’s the recipe for how to make Tres Leches Cake at home!

Granada, Nicaragua

Cultural Context

A few decades into the 1900s, during World War II, the Nestle Company opened in Mexico. From their roots, Tres Leches became popular and loved. It has been popular in the Hispanic culture ever since.

Through the decades, Hispanics have created multiple ways in making the Tres Leches. As the generations passed in my family and with the influence of my grandma, we’ve modified it to our liking. Honestly, we’ve only changed a few things here and there but everyone LOVES it EVERY time!

A homemade Tres Leches truly makes your mouth water in the best way possible—especially my aunt’s version.

We usually request it as a birthday cake or if we wanted to bring a welcome dish for the holidays. It’s a dessert!
