The Tale of Trileçe
Story updated
Trileçe, a "three milks" sponge cake soaked in a mixture of evaporated milk, condensed milk, and cream, traces back to Latin America's tres leches cake, which spread to the Balkans and Turkey in recent decades and was enthusiastically adopted into Kosovo's dessert repertoire. It has become especially popular in Kosovo's cafés and bakeries in recent years.
