Beat in water and vanilla on low speed. Gradually add flour, baking powder and salt, beating just until batter is smooth.
3. Pour into pan.
4. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean. Cool 1 hour on wire rack.
5. Meanwhile, in large bowl, stir together all Tres Leches Sauce ingredients. Refrigerate until ready to use.
6. Poke top of cooled cake all over with toothpick or fork; slowly pour sauce over cake, allowing it to soak in. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours until most of the sauce is absorbed.
7. In chilled small bowl, beat whipping cream and powdered sugar with electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form.
8. Serve cake topped with sweetened whipped cream, coconut, strawberries and kiwi fruit.
