Categories: Cakes, Citrus, Dairy
Yield: 15 servings

MMMMM------------------TRES LECHES MILK MIXTURE-----------------------
1/2 c Sugar
Zest of 3 oranges
1 c Whole milk
1 c Heavy cream
14 oz Can evaporated milk
1 1/4 c Sweetened condensed milk
1 ts Clear vanilla extract

MMMMM----------------------------CAKE---------------------------------
15 1/4 oz Box yellow cake mix
4 lg Eggs
1 c Milk
1/2 c Unsalted butter; melted,
- slightly cooled
1 ts Clear vanilla extract
1/2 ts Kosher salt

MMMMM-----------------------WHIPPED CREAM----------------------------
2 c Heavy whipping cream
1/2 c Confectioners' sugar
2 ts Clear vanilla extract

First make the oleo sacchrum. In a small container, add
sugar and orange peels. Use the back of a spatula or a
muddler to mash the peels into the sugar for 1-2 minutes
or until the sugar starts to look wet. Cover and let it
sit for 4-5 hours, mixing often. When it’s done, the
sugar should be slightly translucent and syrupy.
Transfer the oleo sacchrum to a large mixing bowl and
add the milk, heavy cream, evaporated milk, sweetened
condensed milk, and clear vanilla extract. Stir well,
making sure all the sugar is dissolved. Strain the
mixture into a large measuring cup and refrigerate.

Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC and lightly grease a 13x9 cake
pan with cooking spray or butter. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, add cake mix, eggs, milk, melted
butter, clear vanilla extract and kosher salt. Whisk
until you have a smooth batter and pour into the
prepared baking pan. Bake for 23-25 minutes or until a
toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool
the cake for 30 minutes. Use a fork to poke holes all
the way to the bottom of the cake every 1-2 inches
across the entire surface. Stir the milk mixture and
then pour it over the cake. Let the cake rest for 10-15
minutes so that the cake soaks up all the milk. Cover
the pan with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for
1-2 hours.

To make the whipped cream, add whipped cream, powdered
sugar, and clear vanilla extract to a large mixing bowl.
Whisk for 4 to 5 minutes, or until you have semi-stiff
peaks. Spoon the whipped cream onto the chilled cake and
spread into an even layer. Top with orange slices and
chill until ready to serve.
