Traditionally served at celebrations, this cake is known for its moist texture, achieved by soaking in a mixture of three types of milk. Its rich sweetness and creamy topping make it a beloved dessert at birthdays and special occasions. Today, variations exist worldwide, often featuring different fruits or flavorings, but the classic remains a staple in Mexican cuisine.
