LEMONY TRES LECHES CAKE
OMG how divine! This is not wet like some tres leches cakes can be but moist, covered with a glamorous amazing looking icing, The meringue frosting is light but maintains its texture with refrigeration - delicate tasting when compared to other frostings. Adapted from the Chicago Tribune via Food & Drink, a weekly Tribune publication. The recipe comes from the mother of a member of the Mexican Consulate in Chicago. Tip - use dental floss to cut the cake layers - way easier than cutting.
