OK, stop what you are doing and go get the stuff to make this Cookies & Cream Tres Leches cake. O-M-G! It is incredible!!!! Chicken Legs loved this cake so much that he has requested it for his birthday this year. It was seriously delicious!
I doctored up a box of yellow cake mix with some cinnamon and crushed Oreos. After the cake had baked, I poured a mixture of three milks over the cake and refrigerated it overnight. When we were ready to serve the cake, I topped it with some fresh whipped cream and and more crushed Oreos and cherries. It was great! This is 100% be at our Cinco de Mayo celebration.

Did you ever try the mayonnaise cake recipe which actually uses miracle whip, just wondered what you thought
I actually bought Miracle Whip this week at the store. It is on my list to make this coming week.
This cake is AMAZINGLY WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Easy to make…the hardest thing…is the waiting overnight before you continue on!!!
In the photo it shows milk sitting in the bottom of the pan after you've taken a serving out — so is this cake really soggy?
No, the cake isn't soggy.
