Very, I am very confused but will just nod and laugh politely so I don't look stupid
"6 milks? In this economy?" I've never had tres Leche, but it's like a dessert, so I think the joke is pretty clear from there. (From a white guy that only knows a little spanish)
Ah. I guess I technically knew all the words here but I've never actually seen seis spelled out before (or at least not since I was like 5) and couldn't figure out what it was. I never learned economia, but that one wasn't exactly hard to figure out.
It's an awesome milk (leche) inspired cake. I've had the 3 milk (tres leche) cake and it's amazing (the wetter the better!). Gonna have to look into what 6 milk products they're using for this though. It's a sweet and juicy dessert where I've had it and doesn't disappoint.
Juicy
Yeah I couldn't think of a better word lol. I should've prefaced it by saying the one from the pic above looks dry as hell. I like to see that sweetened milk slightly settling out of it when you cut a piece from it. Though it's probably delicious in it's own right, I just don't know where those 6 milks are disappearing to if it's even drier.
"Moist" is probably the word you were circling around. I love tres leches, especially when a little cream spills out when you cut it. There's a threshold where it gets too wet and too rich, but it's pretty high on the moisture scale.
The cake in the picture looks drier than a snake's butthole though, so I'm not sure what's going on with that.
