Tres Leches Cake

Another simple yet delicious dish I made for the kids while doing the Mexican unit in class.  It's a yellow cake that is soaked in a rich and creamy mix of three milks.  (The whipped cream topping technically makes it a 'cuatro leches' cake.)  There are many ways to make this.  Mine may not be the best, but it is one of easiest and still very, very good.

- 1 yellow cake (homemade or from a box)
- 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup half-and-half                   
- Sweetened whipped cream (real or topping)

Prepare the yellow cake according to the directions in a 13x9 pan.  Allow to cool completely.  Using a fork poke holes throughout the cake to give the milks somewhere to soak into.  Mix the three milks together in a bowl then pour on top of the cake.  Refrigerate a few hours to chill and to allow the cake to soak in all that creamy goodness.  Spread the whipped cream on top slice and serve.  Muy bien!
