Milky Girl Cake

Quick and easy, with tender sweetened condensed milk cake layers, frosted with Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting.

Why is this milk cake called Milky Girl? 
The name of the milk cake, Milky Girl,  has a little bit of a story behind it. In Germany, where this cake originated,  the condensed milk can label has a girl on it and the name of the condensed milk is “Milky Girl”. Since the cake layers are based on condensed milk, the milk cake was called Milky Girl as well.

Why is the cream cheese frosting so important?
Milky Girl cake comes out very tender, soft and moist from the cream cheese frosting that was absorbed by the tres leches cake layers. The soft, creamy, and fluffy cream cheese frosting has a hint of vanilla making this frosting all the better!

I would add halved raspberries between each layer as well, to cut down on the sweetness of the tres leches cake a bit. This time I only had enough for the top, so I didn’t add any to the layers, but it’s great with the addition of raspberries.
