When springtime finally rolls around, I can’t wait to get my hands on all the fresh berries. Strawberries are one of the first fruits to come into season where I live, and I make sure to load up the fridge and freezer with as many as possible. Fresh strawberries are delicious in any recipe, but I’m always on the hunt for new treats where they truly shine. This Strawberry Tres Leches Cake immediately caught my eye with its gorgeous pink color and all natural flavoring. I’m a huge fan of the original tres leches, but I have to say, this version might be even better!

If you aren’t familiar with tres leches, it’s a dessert popular throughout Latin America where a cake is baked, then soaked in three milks until the liquid has absorbed. It’s then topped off with a thick layer of whipped cream for one moist and indulgent treat. This recipe sticks pretty close to the classic, but incorporates fresh strawberries in the milk mixture and the whipped topping. Yes, it’s every bit as delicious as it sounds.

The beautiful pale pink color of this cake makes it the perfect choice for any spring event, birthday party, or baby shower. The rich and fruity flavor is sure to have everyone coming back for another slice and undoubtedly singing your praises. Give this Strawberry Tres Leches Cake a try and I’m sure it will be a new favorite!
