𝐎𝐨𝐩𝐬 𝐈 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧 !
3 years ago I baked my first Tres Leches recipe which is a soft, tender cake, pored over a mixture of three milks – sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and full cream milk.
I have previously shared this recipe in flavours of Rose and Rasmalai, and today I present to you another beautiful flavour – “Gajar Ka Halwa”
I have been so excited to share this recipe with you for a while but I couldn’t post until you tried my Gajar Ka Halwa recipe first, and now that is out of the way you can finally try this gorgeous milk cake!
It’s absolutely delicious and I’m certain you are going to love it as much I do!

BKD Notes:
Tres Leches Cake recipe originally inspired from The Pioneer Woman
You can make the Gajar Ka Halwa in advance and freeze little to use for the cake.
You can add orange food colour to the cake to resemble Gajar Halwa
You can replace Gajar Halwa flavours with rose, pistachio & saffron. Please refer to my website for alternative flavour recipes
