German Chocolate Tres Leches Cake image

I first tried tres leches cake while in Ecuador several years ago. Since then, I've changed it up by adding some of my favorite ingredients, namely chocolate and coconut. This version also has a splash of rum for an adults-only treat. -Lisa Varner, El Paso, Texas
