Tres leches cake

I was searching for an nice recipe which uses condensed milk. I came across this recipe. I ve neve made Tres leches cake but surely the mixture of three milks intrigued me. So I tried this recipe. Here's the link to this fantastic blog from where I copied the recipe. http://www.tasteandtellblog.com/2008/05/post-cinco-de-mayo.html Although I don't like condensed milk I like this cake. (surely I would prefer a chocolate cake though :) However it's quite yummy :)
