<P> A tres leches cake (Spanish: pastel de tres leches or torta de tres leches), also known as pan tres leches ("three milks bread"), is a sponge cake--in some recipes, a butter cake--soaked in three kinds of milk: evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream . </P> <P> When butter is not used, the Tres Leches is a very light cake, with many air bubbles . This distinct texture is why it does not have a soggy consistency, despite being soaked in a mixture of three types of milk . </P> <P> The idea for creating a cake soaked in a liquid is likely of Medieval European origin, as similar cakes, such as British Trifle and rum cake, and tiramisu from Italy, use this method . Recipes for soaked - cake desserts were seen in Mexico as early as the 19th century, likely a result of the large cross-cultural transfer which took place between Europe and the Americas . Recipes appeared on Nestlé condensed milk can labels in the 1940s, which may explain the cake's widely disseminated popularity throughout Latin America as the company had created subsidiaries in Argentina, Chile, Cuba, Colombia, Mexico and Venezuela in the 1930s . The cake is popular in Central and South America, North America and many parts of the Caribbean, Canary Islands, as well as in Albania, the Republic of Macedonia and some other parts of Europe . In recent years its popularity has increased in Turkey under the name of Trileçe . </P> <P> A variety of tres leches known as trileçe has recently become popular in Turkey . One theory is that the popularity of Brazilian soap operas in Albania led local chefs to reverse - engineer the dessert, which then spread to Turkey . The Albanian / Turkish version is sometimes made literally with three milks: cow's, goat's and water buffalo's, though more commonly a mixture of cow's milk and cream is used . </P>
