What is a tres leches cake?
A traditional Latin American dessert that you’ll see in nearly every Mexican bakery, restaurant, and taquiera there is. This stellar dessert has origins and historical roots that are as rich as its dense flavor.
A “Dominican delight”, also known as pan tres leches, is a sponge cake in some recipes, a sponge cake soaked in three kinds of milk.

Elements Of Rose Milk Cake:
There are three elements to this rose milk cake:
- Cake base,
- The rooh afza soak
- Whipped Cream topping with Pistachios and rose petals
Cake Base:
The cake base used here is a rose flavored soft and spongy cake.The rose flavor is incorporated using rooh afza also called as the refresher of the soul used as a flavouring agent for sherbets and drinks. We are adding this in the cake base as well as our rose soaking syrup. Rooh afza will not only add that sweet refreshing flavour but also a gentle tone of colour to our rose milk cake and its soak. In addition, for an extra dense color, you can add 2 to 3 drops of red color. This step is completely optional.
The Rooh Afza Soak:
A traditional tres leches cake is soaked in 3 different types of milk : Full Cream Milk, Condensed Milk and whipping cream. Soaking the cake ends up making it extra fluffy, creamy and so so soft. It also enhances the existing flavours and makes it even more delicious. For the rose milk taste, here we add the rose syrup, rooh afza along with it. All you have to do is to mix everything together and that’s about it.
You can try and poke some holes using a fork a knife to get maximum liquid to seep in. It is also advised to soak the cake when it is slightly warm and has not cooled fully. I know all of this liquid can seem like a lot and feel a little too much! But trust the process, it is just the right amount.
Whipping Cream
The topping is done with the classic way of topping the cake with a simple whipped cream frosting. For the final garnish I have also used some chopped pistachios and edible rose petals.
