Gingerbread Tres Leches Cake is a holiday version of the classic tres leches cake originally from Mexico. The gingerbread adds a unique flavor to the cake that pairs well with the creamy milk mixture. Tres leches translates to “three milks” and it traditionally uses evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and heavy cream to provide its signature moist texture. This cake is a must-try for those who love gingerbread and want to experience a different take on the classic tres leches cake. It’s a great addition to your holiday menu or for any special occasion.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9x13” baking pan and set aside.
2.	In a large bowl, mix the gingerbread mix, eggs, ginger beer and ginger powder until well combined.
3.	Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes until cooked.
4.	In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk and heavy cream.
5.	Once the gingerbread is cooked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool.
6.	Using a fork, poke holes all over the gingerbread.
7.	Slowly pour the milk mixture over the gingerbread, allowing it to soak in completely.
8.	Place the cake in the fridge to cool and set for 2 hours or overnight.
9.	Serve with whipped cream on top.
