This week I made my first tres leches cake and I was very happy with the result. My daughter liked it so much she asked me to make it for her birthday (five months from now). It is basically a génoise or spongecake moistened with a condensed milk syrup and topped with whipped cream. In my head I had it confused with Dulce de Leche cake which blew my mind at Momofuku Milk bar in NYC, which is more of a layer cake with dulce de leche in between the layers...

The tres leches cake at Peruvian restaurant Mama Wasi comes close to the one I made, though it was a bit too soggy in my opinion. Their empanadas are really tasty though, perfect for a quick hot meal with this freezing weather, especially with their extra spicy hot sauce!
