What makes this cake different is the custard filling between layers

Never had Tres Leches Cake on Cozumel, but the best I've ever had was home made - I use the recipe from Alton Brown, from his Good Eats episode on Milk. Have also used his recipe for Dolce de Leche, and it's excellent. Martha Stewart has a recipe for Dolce de Leche that consists of just cooking a couple of cans of Sweetened Condensed Milk over a double boiler for about 5 hours - it's workable, but, IMO, lacks the complex caramel flavors that you get with cooking at higher heat.

BTW, Tres Leche Cake shouldn't be a layer cake - it's a flat cake, where the cake, once baked, is perforated very well with forks or skewers, then soaked overnight with a mixture of Evaporated Milk, Sweetened Condensed Milk, and Half and Half, where the cake absorbs all of the liquid, becoming very moist, but not soupy, then topped with a sweetened (and flavored, if you like) whipped cream. You can also find recipe for Tres Leches Cake on some cans of Sweetened Condensed Milk.

I think the only time I've had it on the island was at 'Ohana, and like EVERYTHING they do there, it was exceptional.

thanks for the heads up on another place to try!
