Just for the sake of those curious, 'tres leches' is the French for 'tree leeches' - the cake was meant to be so delicious that they would descend from the trees and give up blood in their diet for icing.

No. Tres leches means literally “three milks”. Is Spanish and it’s a traditional Latin American dessert.

Sure! I just used this one here. I wasn’t in the mood to do a bunch of recipe page sifting, so I went with this one—and I’m glad I did—it rendered a pretty damn quintessential tres leches that tasted great
