Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Canned pumpkin
  • 1 box Yellow cake mix
  • 3 large Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
  • 1 can Sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 can Evaporated milk
  • 1/2 cup Whole milk
  • 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp Powdered sugar

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, canned pumpkin, eggs, vegetable oil, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix until smooth.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
  4. While the cake is cooling, combine the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and whole milk in a bowl. Once the cake has cooled slightly, poke holes all over the surface using a fork or skewer.
  5. Pour the milk mixture over the cake, making sure it soaks into the holes. Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. For the topping, whip the heavy cream with vanilla extract and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the cake once it’s fully chilled.
  7. Serve chilled and enjoy the creamy, spiced goodness of your pumpkin tres leches cake!
