I usually try to bake all my cake the same day and then freeze them. Well, this week I've got a tres leches cake and was wondering if I could freeze it? I would freeze it BEFORE I add the milk mixture. THANKS for the help!!

I just made one this weekend. You should be fine freezing it without the milk. Just let it defrost completely then pour on the milks.

Depends on your recipe. I don't use a cake mix for this one, I use a recipe similar to a sponge cake, and I wouldn't freeze it, it's very delicate, and since it doesn't have any fat (except for the egg yolks) I think it would dry very much.

Gracias, Solecito! I hadn't thought about that. I don't think I am going to take the risk - I'll bake it when I need it. thanks!

I make mine using a recipe my mother had in a very old cookbook, but i found it here:

http://www.verybestbaking.com/recipes/detail.aspx?ID=116509

The only changes I made are:
1 cup sugar instead of 1/2 cup (for the cake) divided just as in the recipe (1/2 cup in egg whites, 1/2 cup in yolks)

I don't put brandy in the cream.

I make it in a 9x13" pan.

I find that instead of poking the top, the bottom of the cake absobs the cream quickly.

Leave it in the fridge for a while befor cutting, cold tastes great.
