Tres Leches

I've tried tres leches before and it usually involved baking the cake section in a Pyrex, poking holes in it, pour the milky goodness over it and smothering it with a made from scratch whipped topping. I found a recipe in my Bon Appétit book for a round tres leches cake. Its a lengthy step by step process so I was a little intimidated but i went for it!

I baked the cake in one single round pan and slowly cut the round in half horizontally. I then did the milk/caramel process. Long story short... it was a hit. The time frame was definitely worth it. One thing I did do differently was I pre-cut my strawberries and put them in a Tupperware with my black berries and coated them with sugar for a night in the fridge. My strawberries were a little tart so this helped sweeten them up a little.
