    How to Make Spice Tres Leches Cake

    • Use a Spice Cake Mix. Like my easy tres leche cake recipe, this version starts with a cake mix. Use a spice cake mix that makes a 9×13-inch cake. Bake the cake as directed.
    • Let the Cake Cool. Since this recipe uses a cake mix, it needs to cool before we add the soak. If the cake is warm when the soak is poured onto the cake, the texture of the cake can get soggy. Allowing the cake to cool prevents this.
    • Make the Soak. Combine whole milk, heavy cream, and a can of sweetened condensed milk. Be sure to whisk this mixture before pouring it over the cake. Sometimes the condensed milk likes to settle on the bottom.
    • Chill Overnight. Cover the cake and chill overnight. This gives the cake time to absorb all that yummy tres leches soak.
    • Top with Whipped Cream and Sprinkle with Cinnamon. Frost the cake with sweetened whipped cream and sprinkle a little cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice on the top.
