Instructions

For the sponge:

To make this fulfilling tres leches cake, you must first make the sponge. For that, you should start by adding 3 eggs to a blender.

For the dry ingredients, sift 1 cup all purpose flour to a bowl and add 1 tsp baking powder and 1/4 tsp baking soda to it as well. Sift thoroughly and mix it well after to combine all dry ingredients.
