    Bake 26 to 31 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove cake from oven to cooling rack. Immediately poke holes using fork over top of cake, wiping fork tines occasionally with paper towel to reduce sticking.

    In medium bowl, stir together Filling ingredients until blended. Evenly pour over cake, working back and forth to fill holes. Rap pan on counter several times to help filling mixture flow down holes. Refrigerate uncovered 2 hours or until chilled (when cutting pieces to serve, you may notice some of the liquid in bottom of pan).

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Ready-made eggnog is typically available during the holiday months—replace 1 cup heavy whipping cream in the Filling with 1 cup eggnog for even more eggnog flavor, if desired!
  • tip 2
    Heavy whipping cream helps make this cake delicious! 2 1/2 cups are needed, so be sure to buy 2 pints heavy whipping cream when shopping for this recipe.
  • tip 3
    Tres Leches Cake is a classic Nicaraguan cake soaked with three forms of leches, or “milks.” It is a very moist cake and becomes more flavorful as it's stored.
