I got this off allrecipes.com... I've always meant to make it, but never get around to it. Maybe I'll try it for xmas. I've had it before, and it's delicious.
Tres Leche (Milk Cake)
Yields: 24 servings
This cake is made with three layers: Cake, filling, and topping. There are 4 types of milk in the filling and topping (whole milk, condensed milk, evaporated milk, and heavy cream). [I guess that would make it Quatro Leche, but we'll ignore that.]
