1

Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Spray bottom only of 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray.
2

In large bowl, beat cake mix, water, oil, vanilla, whole eggs and egg whites with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour into pan.
3

Bake 29 to 35 minutes or until edges are golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand 5 minutes. Poke top of hot cake all over with fork or wooden skewer, wiping fork occasionally to reduce sticking.
4

In medium bowl, stir condensed milk, evaporated milk and skim milk until blended. Slowly pour evenly over top of cake. Cover; refrigerate about 1 hour or until mixture is absorbed into cake.
5

Spread whipped topping over cake. Refrigerate until serving time. Garnish with strawberries. Store in refrigerator.

Expert Tips

What is "Healthified"? We've replaced ingredients with great-tasting alternatives to create better-for-you recipes that are just as yummy as the original.
This moist cake gets its name because it's soaked in three milks ("tres leches" in Spanish). The cake can vary by region, sometimes containing fruit or chocolate, but the three-milk soaking is the key to its authenticity.
Fresh raspberries would be equally as nice as serving with fresh strawberries.
