Mexican Cakes
By Brooklyn and Camie
3 Types
- There are a lot of cakes in Mexico, but 3 of the main types are Rosca de Reyes, Chocolate Jalapeno Cake, and Tres Leches Cake.
Rosca de Reyes
- Although this cake is supposed to be round, it is an oval shape, so that it serves more at big parties.
- Decorated with slices of crystallized or candied fruit colors.
- This tradition of eating together and sharing a Rosca de Reyes bread with a hot chocolate is to remember the Holy Kings.
Chocolate Jalapeno Cake
- This is a chocolate cake that is sweet, yet has a spicy kick.
- A cake that has chocolate all over, with Jalapenos chopped up inside, and sliced on the top.
Tres Leches Cake
- Covered with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and whole milk.
- Favorite trick at celebrations
- Sponge cake soaked in a "milk syrup"
