JENN'S TEXAS STYLE TRES LECHES 
1 yellow or vanilla cake mix (with pudding)

TOPPING:

1 (12 oz.) can evaporated milk
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup light or dark rum, to taste (optional, but highly recommended!)
1 pint heavy whipping cream (or Cool Whip)

Note: I use Betty Crocker Super Moist. May substitute 2 1/2 tsp. rum flavoring for rum.

Bake yellow cake mix as directed on package in 13x9-inch pan.

Let cool for 15 to 20 minutes and poke holes in the cake with a fork all over.

In a separate bowl, whisk evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk and rum together. Pour over cake and allow to absorb completely in refrigerator.

Prepare whipping cream with powdered sugar or vanilla for added flavor till soft peaks form. Spread over cake and serve or refrigerate until ready to use.

This will keep, if cooled, for 3-4 days... if it lasts that long!
