Categories     dessert

Time 1h20m

Yield 9 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup plus 5 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup whole milk
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract
Seeds scraped from 1 vanilla bean
8 cups sliced fresh strawberries, for serving
Sifted confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Whipped cream, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking pan.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a small bowl and set aside. Place the eggs, 1 cup of granulated sugar and the vanilla extract in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium-high speed for 10 minutes (really!) until light yellow and fluffy. Reduce the speed to low and slowly add half the flour mixture, then the milk and finally the remaining flour mixture. Mix with a rubber spatula to be sure the batter is well mixed. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top and bake for 25 minutes, until the cake springs back when touched lightly in the middle and a cake tester comes out clean. Set aside to cool in the pan for 30 minutes.
  • In a 4-cup liquid measuring cup, whisk together the heavy cream, evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, almond extract and vanilla seeds. Using a bamboo skewer, poke holes all over the cooled cake and slowly pour the cream mixture over the cake, allowing it to be absorbed completely before continuing to pour on more of the mixture. Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
  • To serve, toss the strawberries with the 5 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Dust the cake with confectioners' sugar, cut in squares and place on dessert plates. Surround the cake with the strawberries, put a dollop of whipped cream on top and serve.

COCONUT TRES LECHES CAKE



Coconut Tres Leches Cake image

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!

Time 11h35m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

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)

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.
