What it is

Albania's favourite adopted cake: a feather-light sponge soaked in three milks and crowned with caramel — the Balkan tres leches that Albanians made their own. Ingredients: eggs, sugar, flour (sponge); soak: evaporated milk, condensed milk, cream; topping: caramel sauce or whipped cream. Recipe: 1) Whip eggs and sugar to a ribbon; fold in flour. 2) Bake until springy. 3) Poke; pour the three-milk soak over slowly. 4) Chill overnight; crown with caramel. Serve: cold, in squares, at every Albanian café and bakery. Flavor: milky, caramel, cloud-soft. History: tres leches travelled from Latin America to the Balkans in the 1990s via telenovelas and emigrants; Albania embraced it so completely that trileçe is now expected at celebrations.
