Tres leches cake · San Antonio
Tres leches is a sponge cake soaked in three milks, evaporated, condensed, and whole or cream, until it is dense and wet, then topped with whipped cream.
Tres leches spread through Mexico and Latin America in the 20th century, often credited to dairy-brand recipes, and became a fixture of San Antonio's Mexican and Tex-Mex dessert menus. Rooms like Aldaco's built a following on their version, and it remains the default celebration cake at quinceaneras and family dinners throughout the city.
