For an even more pronounced coconut flavor, consider adding shredded coconut to the mousse filling. Ensure the cake layers are thoroughly chilled before assembling to prevent the mousse from melting. Experiment with different extracts in the tres leches mixture, such as almond or rum, for a unique twist. To prevent the bottom layer from becoming too soggy, consider lining the serving platter with a thin layer of buttercream or stabilized whipped cream before placing the first cake layer.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Coat two 9-inch round cake pans with cooking spray. (5 minutes)
02
StepCombine cake mix, flour, eggs, sugar, milk, canola oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and baking powder in a large bowl until thoroughly blended; pour into the prepared cake pans. (10 minutes)
03
StepBake in the preheated oven until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into centers comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool cakes in pans about 10 minutes, then remove from pans. Place on wire racks to cool completely. (1 hour)
04
StepWhisk evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, 6 tablespoons cream, the vanilla extract, and coconut extract in a bowl until smooth; refrigerate tres leches mixture. (5 minutes)
05
StepBeat 2 cups cream and pudding mix together in a separate bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form, 3 to 5 minutes; refrigerate mousse filling. (10 minutes)
06
StepLevel cake by lightly cutting off a thin layer of each cake top using a long serrated knife. Place cakes, leveled-sides up, on pieces of waxed paper. Poke holes all over cakes with a skewer. Slowly pour tres leches mixture over cakes, about 1/2 cup at a time, waiting until mixture has soaked in before adding more. Wrap cake layers in plastic wrap; refrigerate until chilled, at least 4 hours. (30 minutes)
07
StepUnwrap one cake layer; place onto a serving platter, leveled-side up. Top cake with mousse filling. Gently place second cake layer over filling, leveled-side down. Refrigerate leftovers. (10 minutes)

Dec 2, 2024My cake was a little too soggy. I think I poured too much of the milk mixture too quickly. Will definitely try again and be more patient.
