The iconic and delicious Tres Leches cake, but as a chocolate version! This amazing cake is created the same way as a traditional Tres Leches cake but with a few secret recipe tweaks.
I promise you'll love this chocolate Tres Leches cake.
Tres Leches cake has always been a favorite for me. It can be disappointing slicing into a sponge cake only to find it on the dry side, but this chocolate Tres Leches cake takes care of that issue.
It's still made like a traditional tres leches but the sponge is chocolate and I switched the whole milk to delicious chocolate milk! You can use any brand you like, but I found that Broguiere's Chocolate Milk is the creamiest.
This recipe came from a high craving for chocolate and having a chocolate box cake mix lurking in the pantry. You can use any good chocolate cake recipe if you have a particular favorite.
