German Chocolate Tres Leches Cake Recipe image

I first tried tres leches cake several years ago while in Ecuador. Since then, Iâ??ve changed it up by adding some of my favorite ingredients, namely chocolate and coconut. This version also has a bit of rum for an adults-only treat. -Lisa Varner, El Paso, TX

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 package chocolate cake mix
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
1-1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, divided
1/4 cup rum
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup flaked coconut, toasted
1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted
Chocolate syrup, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare and bake cake mix according to package directions, using a 13x9-in. baking pan. Cool on a wire rack.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk milks, 1/2 cup cream and rum. With a wooden skewer, poke holes in cake about 1/2 in. apart. Slowly pour milk mixture over cake, allowing mixture to absorb into cake. Let stand 30 minutes. Refrigerate, covered, 8 hours or overnight.
  • In a small bowl, beat remaining cream until it begins to thicken. Add confectioners' sugar; beat until stiff peaks form. Spread over top of cake. Sprinkle with coconut and pecans. If desired, drizzle servings with chocolate syrup.
  • Yield: 15 servings.
