Tres Leches Cake

Tres leches cake is safe while breastfeeding! This moist, milk-soaked sponge cake is a delicious dessert made with entirely breastfeeding-friendly ingredients.

Tres leches is a sponge cake soaked in three types of milk — evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream. All dairy-based and fine during breastfeeding. It's rich and sweet, but as a dessert that's the point. Unless your baby has a confirmed cow's milk protein allergy, enjoy this treat.
