A tres leches cake (lit. 'three-milk cake'; Spanish: pastel de tres leches, torta de tres leches or bizcocho de tres leches), dulce de tres leches,[1][2] also known as pan tres leches (lit. 'three-milk bread') or simply tres leches, is a Nicaraguan and Mexican sponge cake soaked in three kinds of milk: evaporated milk, condensed milk, and whole milk.

Tres leches is a very light cake, with many air bubbles. This distinct texture is why it does not have a soggy consistency, despite being soaked in a mixture of three types of milk.

Variety of recipes refer to trileche as trileče. Its Albanian and Turkish varieties are referred to as trileçe.[3][4]
