🍒 Reader Review: A Five-Star Frosted Delight!

“I was really skeptical about making this recipe initially, but I went for it and was so incredibly happy with the results! It’s super easy – only two ingredients, you absolutely can’t go wrong. I did a double batch, preparing each one separately, and the taste was fantastic. It wasn’t overly sweet like some other frostings can be, which was a huge plus. The birthday lady absolutely adored her cake, especially the frosting, as whipped cream is her favorite! I even have some leftover frosting that I’m excited to use for cake pops!” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Beautifully garnished with toasted coconut flakes and cheerful rainbow sprinkles, it embodies the celebratory essence of Cinco de Mayo.

The secret to this cake’s unparalleled moisture and tender crumb lies in its clever preparation method, reminiscent of a classic *poke cake*. After baking, the cake is generously poked with holes, but the magic doesn’t stop there. For superior absorption, the cake is then gently flipped and the other side is also perforated. This meticulous double-poking technique ensures that the Coconut Lime Tres Leches cake is thoroughly and evenly saturated with its luscious milky syrup. The result is a perfectly moist and velvety texture throughout, without any undesirable mushiness. When combined, the creamy trio of coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk, and fresh milk creates an ideal balance of sweetness, density, and richness, making this Mexican dessert a true masterpiece for any occasion, especially your Cinco de Mayo fiesta.
