Triple Chocolate-Tres Leches Cake image

Tres Leches Cake is a classic Nicaraguan cake soaked with three forms of leches, or "milks." It's a favorite among our fans, so we took our classic Tres Leches cake recipe and gave it a rich, chocolaty twist! A moist chocolate fudge cake is soaked with chocolate milk, topped with sweetened whipped cream and garnished with beautifully curled chocolate shavings for an indulgent dessert that's every chocolate lover's dream. The best part? It serves 15, making this a perfect-sized cake for any potluck or party.
