Check the Taqueria Arandas on the Katy Freeway feeder road between either Mason Road and Fry Road, or Mason Road and Peek Road, on the eastbound side. All this talk of tres leches cake is going to make me get on emade for my family for Christmas. Thanks, you can never get enough tres leches cake. It is delicious!!!!

The idea for creating a cake soaked in a liquid is probably of European origin, as similar cakes, such as rum cake from Puerto Rico and tiramisu from Italy, use this method.

A Tres leches cake, or Pastel Tres leches (Spanish, "Three milk cake"), or Pan Tres Leches (Spanish, "Three milk bread"), is a sponge cake—in some recipes, a butter cake—soaked in three kinds of milk: evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream.
When butter is not used, the tres leches is a very light cake, with many air bubbles.
This distinct texture is why it does not have a soggy consistency, despite being soaked in a mixture of three types of milk.
At some restaurants in Texas and Florida, the addition of Dulce de Leche creates what is known as a cuatro leches ("four milks") cake. "Dulce de Leche" is a very milky and thick texture caramel.

Waaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, i want cinco leches...

thanks for the detailed info, I always learn here from the forum. Happy Holidays everyone..

I'll try to save you a slice but don't count on it....I don't think I can do the flan. I've tried it a couple times and I don't like the way it feels in my mouth...I know weird.

French flan tastes much better than Spanish/Mexican flan. The French version floats on the tongue... dreamy! Mexican flan feels a little too heavy.

Is French flan like creme brulee? I like creme brulee, but not flan. I finally learned how to make it instead spending a fortune for a tiny amount at a restaurant.
