I definitely could have used wayyyy more of the milk mixture and I'm positive it wouldn't have turned out mushy at all. When I make it again, I won't be afraid of it being too soggy, now that I know how much it firms up in the fridge!

I'm not quite sure why, but not only did the cake not bake properly in the 25 minute bake time given, once it was golden, removed from the oven and cooled and I pricked the layers as suggested, the milk didn't even soak in! It became a sloppy mess. Once I thought I finally had it figured out, I put it in the refrigerator to chill, as instructed. When I sliced it so that we could eat it for my uncle's birthday, it was obvious that the cake was all wrong. It was really firm and practically tasteless. None of the milk had soaked in.

I could barely get 1/2 of the milk to soak in, and I,m afraid that when it's cut it will simply turn to mush. I congratulate those that can get this to work!

Have fun moving to Vancouver!! More to the point, I just made this cake a couple days ago because I went cake-crazy this week (I made your "Light Apple Cake" too! Turned out amazing) and it turned out great!! I did only end up using a little less than half the milk mixture? It didn't seem to be quite soaking in as I'd hoped but maybe I was just impatient and should have waited a bit longer. I really liked the strawberries, really added to the flavour! I might try pureeing some and putting it in the middle layer next time. Thanks for posting, it was my first(and successful) attempt at Tres Leches! Just wanted to say — I love your blog!
