Last week was my in-laws’ 30th wedding anniversary, so we decided to cook up a feast for the occasion. Our menu included popcorn shrimp, chapli kababs, and Tres Leches Cake.
This cake- OMG! Delish!
I’ll let the picture do the talking 🙂

Ma shaa ALlah, the cake looks so delicious and decadent. This is one of the cakes, I am intimidated by coz it is so delicate:) Now, I am inspired to make it. You have made it sound so simple!

Thanks! I know, it does seem intimidating, right? It’s actually reallllly easy. You just bake the cake, prick it all over with a fork, and pour the combined milks over it and refrigerate it. Easy-peasy!
