Sugar Mommas’ Texas Longhorn Cake

I first had a Tres Leches Cake (translation, cake with three milks) when I lived in Houston, Texas in 1997. It was an immediate love connection. Yellow cake drenched in milk syrup topped with whipped cream. The combo on the fork makes for a mouthful of heaven. This is the type of cake you dream about. Being that I lived in Houston, Texas and my first son was born there, the Reiner people are die hard Texas Longhorn fans. In honor of the BCS National Championship Game we decided to spice up this Tres Leches Cake. We are all in a celebratory mood. The BCS game is a national holiday, isnt it? So go ahead, indulge in this dessert and your football fans will cheer you on!
