Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • 1 box strawberry cake mix
  • milk
  • 3 whole eggs
  • vegetable oil
Mix the strawberry cake mix with milk in place of water, the three eggs and the vegetable oil on medium speed for two minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350; pour the batter into a greased baking dish and bake for the time on the box, 25 minutes in a 9x13.
Cool the cake.
Making the tres leches mix
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 6 oz condensed milk
  • 12 oz evaporated milk
  • ¾ cup strawberry pie filling
Mix the milk, condensed milk, evaporated milk and strawberry pie filling, smashing the strawberries; set aside.
Poke the cooled cake all over with a fork and pour over about three cups of the milk mixture (all four for a wetter cake), tilting so it soaks in.
Refrigerate overnight or at least four hours so the cake absorbs the milk.
  • 3 cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
Beat the heavy cream, sugar and vanilla extract about 10 minutes until stiff.
  • fresh strawberries
Spread the whipped topping smooth and even; decorate with fresh strawberries dipped in the strawberry filling to glaze.
