The slice of cake was topped with a light vanilla frosting sprinkled with bits of pistachio with a delicate, highly moist green crumb on the bottom. The cake was airy and fluffy and had a wallop of flavor with each bite.I was struck by how similar it was to another favorite cake of mine, tres leches, which made sense when I found out the ingredients. It seems tres leches and milk cake contain a similar dairy trifecta — condensed milk, evaporated milk, and whole milk or cream.
I also grabbed a cup of the Marib coffee, a medium roast coffee infused with cardamom. Like Greek or Turkish coffee, it contains a certain amount of intense flavor, giving you a potent jolt with each sip. About halfway through, it made me feel like Superman, giving me the impression that I could fly down the 5 Freeway on my way home.
