    I chose Tres Leches for my Thanksgiving recipe. This is because one year I found a recipe and decided to make it. Everyone thought it was a hit, and now if I don’t make it every year, people wonder why. 

Ingredients:

For the cake batter:                    For the Tres Leches:                For the toppings:

Yellow boxed cake mix                1 can of Evaporated Milk              16 fl. oz of Heavy Whipping

1 cup of milk                                1 can of Condensed Milk              Cream

3 eggs                                           1 cup of milk                                 ⅓ cup of powdered sugar

½ cup of melted butter                                                                        Strawberries

                                                                                                            Cinnamon

Directions: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, mix the box cake mix, 1 cup of milk, 3 eggs, and ½ cup of melted butter, then spread butter on the pan before pouring the batter in. Put the pan into the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Check if it is ready with a fork, then poke holes all around and cut the edges. In a bowl, mix 1 can of evaporated milk, 1 can of condensed milk, and 1 cup of whole milk, then proceed to pour it over the cake and put it in the fridge overnight. Next, to make the whipped cream, add 16 fl. oz. of heavy whipping cream and ⅓ cup of powdered sugar to a bowl, then mix until peaks form. Then you will spread the whipped cream on top of the cake. Next, cut up however many strawberries you want and add them on top. Lastly, add a sprinkle of cinnamon, and you're done.
