Ingredients:
- 1 box Betty Crocker Milk Chocolate Cake Mix
- 3 eggs
- 1/3 cup butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extracts
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tube Betty Crocker red food coloring gel
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 5 ounces evaporated milk
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can Betty Crocker cream cheese frosting
Directions:
In a stand mixer, beat together the Betty Crocker chocolate cake, eggs, butter, vanilla, almond extract, water, and the entire tube of red gel coloring until smooth.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees line your muffin tins with aluminum-foil lined cups. This will help support your cupcakes once you drizzle your tres leches into them. Using an ice cream scoop fill each liner with a little more than 1/2 way full in order to bake up into perfect cupcakes.
Bake in preheated oven for 18-20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely.
Then, use a small spoon or scoop and remove a bit of cake from the center of each cupcake. Now pour each of your three leches into this center console. Pour slowly! You want to give time for the cupcake to soak up all of the milks! Allow to set for about an hour before frosting with cream cheese frosting.
After they have set, spread or pipe a bit of Betty Crocker cream cheese frosting over each cupcake.
