"Tres leches cake at Broken Spanish is the dessert that appears at the end of every meal for a reason. The sponge cake soaks up a three-milk mixture — evaporated milk, condensed milk, heavy cream — until it is saturated but not falling apart. The cajeta is made in-house. This is the correct version of a dish that is often executed incorrectly."

"The tres leches is a test of proportion. Too much milk and the cake becomes a puddle; too little and it is dry. Broken Spanish gets the ratio right — the cake holds its shape while being completely saturated. The cajeta on top adds a caramel element that is salted and complex. This is the dish that makes you want to come back."
