This easy Tres Leches Cake with Cake Mix recipe uses boxed cake mix, sweetened condensed milk, and cinnamon for the best shortcut dessert you'll find!

Ingredients

1 box yellow cake mix whole milk butter vanilla extract eggs heavy cream evaporated milk sweetened condensed milk powdered sugar cinnamon

Step 1:

In a large mixing bowl, mix together cake mix, whole milk, butter, vanilla extract, and eggs. Pour cake batter into the prepared pan and bake cake according to package instructions.

Step 2:

While yellow cake bakes, whisk together half of the heavy cream, evaporated milk, and sweetened condensed milk.

Step 3:

Once cake is baked and allowed to cool for 10-15 minutes, use a toothpick or fork to poke holes all over the cake. A little bit at a time, pour milk mixture over the cake, allowing it to soak in before pouring additional mix. Continue until all milk is poured and soaked in.

Step 4:

Use other half of the heavy cream to make whipped cream; mix powdered sugar in slowly as you beat heavy cream in another large bowl with an electric mixer on high speed. Beat until soft peaks form on beaters.

Step 5:

Spread whipped cream over top of the cake. Sprinkle cinnamon to over the top of the whipped cream. Refrigerate cake for about an hour before serving.
