This delicious twist on the classic Tres Leches Cake infuses the light and airy sponge cake with a unique speculoos flavor. The cake, made from separated eggs, sugar, and a hint of vanilla, is soaked in a sweetened milk mixture, then topped with a fluffy whipped cream. Finished with a layer of speculoospasta and crushed speculoos cookies, it's a delightful blend of traditional and modern flavors.
