Tres Leches Cake

Ingredients

1 box yellow cake mix

follow directions on cake box back, except  Replace water with whole milk, oil with unsweetened applesauce, add 1 teaspoon vanilla, and the eggs

1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated) -- Can be FAT FREE

1 cup whole milk

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 container cream cheese frosting

Directions

·        1 Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Grease and flour or spray bottom and sides of 13x9-inch pan.

·        2 In large bowl, beat cake mix, milk, applesauce, vanilla and eggs with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour into pan.

·        3 Bake as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan. Let stand 5 minutes. Poke top of hot cake every 1/2 inch with long-tined fork, wiping fork occasionally to reduce sticking.

·        4 In large bowl, stir together sweetened condensed milk, whole milk and whipping cream. Carefully pour evenly over top of cake. Cover; refrigerate about 1 hour or until mixture is absorbed into cake. Frost with frosting. Store in refrigerator.  Be sure to seal in cake with frosting leaving no holes or gaps between sides of pan and frosting.  This will keep moisture in the cake longer.  Once cut be sure to keep covered to hold in moisture.
