Comments on: Pastel de Tres Leches – Three Milk Cake http://www.notquitenigella.com/2009/04/15/pastel-de-tres-leches-three-milk-cake/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

This time i tried your cake recipe. Two questions - I noticed that my cake did not rise as much as my other cakes do. Guess this is because of the absence of butter? Also i am noticing that the milk takes forever to soak in the mixture. It keeps sliding back to the sides of the pan. Did i miss a step? Hi,

I have made this cake before but i have always soaked the milk mixture in a yellow cake.

This time i tried your cake recipe. Two questions -

I noticed that my cake did not rise as much as my other cakes do. Guess this is because of the absence of butter?

Also i am noticing that the milk takes forever to soak in the mixture. It keeps sliding back to the sides of the pan.

Did i miss a step?

Did you poke enough holes? It's a different texture from a normal cake as it needs to handle all that milk. Sounds like you didn't poke enough holes in it. Hi Miyoko-Sounds like something went wrong.
