Mexican Tres Leches Cake with Strawberries and Cream

At the heart of this beloved Mexican dessert is a light, airy sponge cake that soaks up a blend of three milks—evaporated, sweetened condensed, and whole—for a rich yet delicate finish. This version is layered: fresh whipped cream and sliced strawberries tucked between the cake, with more cream on top and a simple strawberry heart to finish.

Rooted in Mexican tradition but adapted with a seasonal touch, it’s cool and custardy, sweet but not heavy, and especially satisfying when strawberries are at their peak.
