How to Make Fruity Pebble Tres Leches Cake

 

Looking for a new recipe to try? My daughter made her first YouTube cooking video and I wanted to share the recipe with you. I think a future baker in the making!

INGREDIENTS

FOR THE CAKE:

  • 1 box Betty Crocker French Vanilla Cake Mix
  • 3 Large eggs
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1/3 cup Vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup Fruity Pebbles cereal (crushed)

FOR THE TRES LECHES SOAK:

  • 1 can Evaporated milk
  • 1 can Sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup Almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons Fruity Pebbles cereal (crushed)

FOR THE WHIPPED TOPPING & GARNISH:

  • Whipped Frosting (already purchased and made)
  • Extra Fruity Pebbles (for topping)

DIRECTIONS

  1. BAKE THE CAKE BASE: Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan. In a large bowl, mix together the vanilla cake mix, eggs, water, and oil until completely smooth. Gently fold in the 1/2 cup of crushed Fruity Pebbles. Pour into the pan and bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool completely for 20-30 minutes.
  2. MIX THE MILKS: While the cake is cooling, whisk together the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, almond milk, and 2 tablespoons of crushed Fruity Pebbles in a bowl or measuring cup.
  3. SOAK THE CAKE: Use a fork or skewer to poke holes closely together all over the top of the cooled cake. Slowly pour the milk mixture evenly over the entire surface, making sure it absorbs into the holes. Cover the pan tightly and refrigerate overnight.
  4. WHIP AND FROST: Spread the frosting smoothly across the top of the chilled cake.
  5. ADD THE CRUNCH: Right before slicing and serving, generously sprinkle a layer of whole Fruity Pebbles over the whipped cream so they stay perfectly crunchy.
