The recipe was inspired by their office favorite, strawberry shortcake, to go along with their 25 for 25! Sweepstakes. I haven’t had strawberry shortcake in years!

Whatever method you use to infuse your Tres Leche Cupcake (“three milk cupcake) is fine. Just be sure that one of the three milks is coconut milk.
