Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9- by 13-inch cake pan.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl.
  • Separate the eggs. Beat the egg yolks with 3/4 cup of the sugar on high speed until the yolks are pale yellow. Stir in the milk and vanilla. Pour the egg yolk mixture over the flour mixture and stir very gently until combined.
  • Beat the egg whites on high speed until soft peaks form. With the mixer on, pour in the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and beat until the egg whites are stiff but not dry. Fold the egg white mixture into the batter very gently until just combined. Spoon into the prepared pan and spread to even out the surface.
  • Bake until the cake is done, 35 to 40 minutes. Allow to cool in the pan, and then turn out (upside down) onto a rimmed platter.
  • For the tres leches: Combine the heavy cream, evaporated milk and condensed milk in a small pitcher. Pierce the surface of the cake with a fork several times. Drizzle the milk mixture over the top and allow the cake to sit and absorb the milk mixture. Don't worry about totally soaking the cake! That's what you want.
  • For the icing: Whip the cream with the sugar. Spread it evenly over the top and sides of the soaked cake and decorate with maraschino cherries.
  • Refrigerate until ready to serve. Several hours is fine. The cooler the cake, the better!

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 large eggs, separated
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup heavy cream
One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
One 12-ounce can evaporated milk
1 pint heavy cream, for whipping
3 tablespoons sugar
Maraschino cherries, to decorate

COCONUT TRES LECHES CAKE

Tres Leches Cake, popularized in many Latin countries, is one of my favorite cakes; sweet, super moist and rich, but not heavy. It's typically made with a yellow or white cake that gets soaked with three types of milk: evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk and whole milk or cream, and topped with fluffy whipped cream. I wanted to make a non-dairy version, so I went with a blend of almond and coconut milk and topped it with coconut whipped topping. It gives this cake a tasty and unique flavor twist. I also opted for a box cake mix for the batter to save time. I hope you love it as much as I do!

Steps:

  • Bake the cake in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, following the package instructions. Let cool for 30 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the almond milk, sweetened condensed coconut milk, coconut milk and vanilla.
  • Poke holes all over the cake. Pour the milk mixture over the top, a little at a time, letting it soak, so that the liquid doesn't overflow. Cover and let soak in the refrigerator for at least 10 or up to 24 hours. (The cake should have absorbed all of the liquid, and there should be no liquid pooled on the top or sides.)
  • Spread the whipped cream evenly over the cake, then sprinkle the toasted coconut all over the top. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

One 16.25-ounce box dairy-free white cake mix, such as Duncan Hines
2 cups full-fat almond milk
Two 7.4-ounce cans sweetened condensed coconut milk
One 13.5-ounce can coconut milk, well shaken
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
One 9-ounce container frozen non-dairy coconut whipped cream, thawed
1 cup sweetened coconut flakes, toasted (see Cook's Note)

THE BEST TRES LECHES CAKE

This is SO GOOD! It's a moist, rich, sweet and yummy cake, made with a simple sauce that is poured over it, and slowly seeps into it. Leaving you with heaven in every bite. "Tres Leche" means three milks therefor, this cake has three different types of milk: condensed, evaporated and regular milk. The top of the cake is ugly, because you have to poke holes in it, so I like to top it with whipped topping, and berries. Try it!
