Yeah I couldn't think of a better word lol. I should've prefaced it by saying the one from the pic above looks dry as hell. I like to see that sweetened milk slightly settling out of it when you cut a piece from it. Though it's probably delicious in it's own right, I just don't know where those 6 milks are disappearing to if it's even drier.
"Moist" is probably the word you were circling around. I love tres leches, especially when a little cream spills out when you cut it. There's a threshold where it gets too wet and too rich, but it's pretty high on the moisture scale.
The cake in the picture looks drier than a snake's butthole though, so I'm not sure what's going on with that.
