PASTEL TRES LECHES DE HUEVOS FRITOS

April 1st is celebrated as the day of jokes (april’s fool) and although it is mostly held in US, I find it funny to make a conventional recipe of Latin American cuisine and turn it into something else. We will make a spectacular 3 Leches Cake but presented like a Fried Eggs, are you up for it?

In Venezuela usually the 3 leches cake is made with meringue egg frosting and is accompanied with a little bit of cinnamon, but I’ve seen that here in Mexico, they eat it a lot with peaches in syrup and chantilly  cream, so the idea seemed great, as slight change of the original recipe to make it more fun to play,  a joke on friends on April fool.
