Tips & Techniques

  • What is "Healthified"?

    We've replaced ingredients with great-tasting alternatives to create better-for-you recipes that are just as yummy as the original.

  • Did You Know?

    This moist cake gets its name because it is soaked in three milks ("tres leches" in Spanish). The cake can vary by region, sometimes containing fruit or chocolate, but the three-milk soaking is the key to its authenticity.

  • Substitution

    Fresh raspberries would be equally as nice as serving with fresh strawberries.

Ingredients

  • 1  box (1 lb 2.25 oz) yellow cake mix with pudding
  • 1 1/4  cups water
  • 1  tablespoon canola oil
  • 2  teaspoons vanilla
  • 2  whole eggs
  • 3  egg whites
  • 1  can (14 oz) fat-free sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)
  • 1  can (12 oz) evaporated fat-free milk
  • 1/2  cup fat-free (skim) milk or fat-free half-and-half
  • 1  container (8 oz) frozen reduced-fat or fat-free whipped topping, thawed
  • Sliced fresh strawberries, if desired

Directions

  1. 1Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Spray bottom only of 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray.
  2. 2In large bowl, beat cake mix, water, oil, vanilla, whole eggs and egg whites with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour into pan.
  3. 3Bake 29 to 35 minutes or until edges are golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand 5 minutes. Poke top of hot cake all over with fork or wooden skewer, wiping fork occasionally to reduce sticking.
  4. 4In medium bowl, stir condensed milk, evaporated milk and skim milk until blended. Slowly pour evenly over top of cake. Cover; refrigerate about 1 hour or until mixture is absorbed into cake.
  5. 5Spread whipped topping over cake. Refrigerate until serving time. Garnish with strawberries. Store in refrigerator.
