Clear Skies

 

Cakes made from boxed mixes are quick and easy, but notoriously dry and tasteless. Cakes made from scratch are delightful, but usually a ton of work. This recipe is an improvement on both.

 

Tres Leches – From a Box

 

1 box yellow cake mix

1 cup water

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

2 teaspoons vanilla

4 eggs

14 ounces sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)

1 cup milk

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

 

Heat oven to 350F and coat a 9x13 pan with cooking spray. Beat cake mix, water, oil, vanilla and eggs for 2 minutes, scraping sides of bowl. Pour into prepared pan. Bake 28 minutes, then set on rack to cool 5 minutes. Poke cake all over with a fork. In a medium bowl, stir together condensed milk, milk and cream. Pour evenly over cake. Loosely cover and chill. You can serve this as is, or with strawberries and whipped cream.
