Yesterday Lisa baked Tres Leches cake because I tried it once and had said I loved it. She remembers such small things, very nice of her. She looked at many recipes, and finally chose one by Martha Stuart. The amazing part is she had tasted only a small piece (one bite) once. She had never made the cake before - but she had an idea about how the cake turn out and what texture it would be. So she made some changes, that would make the cake a bit firmer. I was, of course a little apprehensive, since we want to take this cake to Irfan's place. So we cut one of the two she baked. Needless to say, it is simply heavenly. We had to make effort to stop eating it. It has that milky, creamy, soft taste - and yes, the firmness is just right.
She was brought up in India, where no one bakes at home. She learned it on her own. But she has the natural instinct for it. Here is a picture of one of her cakes. She made it for Aai's birthday. (doubleclick on the picture to see details)
