Vegan Tres Leches Cake Recipes

VEGAN TRES LECHES CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 F and grease an 8 by 8 baking pan.
• First make the cake. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the soy milk and lemon juice. Let sit for a few minutes until the mixture begins to curdle. Stir in the oil, sugar, and vanilla and whisk until smooth. Sift in the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the dry ingredients just until everything is mixed. Pour into the prepared baking pan, spreading that batter evenly with the rubber spatula. Bake 30-32 minutes, until a tester comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and let cool for a few minutes and then use a fork or toothpick to poke holes all the way through the cake.
• While the cake is baking, make the syrup. Mix all the syrup ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a low simmer over medium high heat, stirring with a wire whisk. Let the mixture boil for 1 minute then reduce heat to low. Cook until the syrup has reduced, stirring occasionally. Cook until the mixture has a syrup consistency and coats the back of a spoon, about 25-30 minutes. Remove from the burner and let cool until ready to pour on the cake.
• When the cake is done and has cooled for a few minutes, pour the syrup over the cake. You want the cake to be warm when you pour the syrup over it. Cover and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours or overnight.
• Chill your coconut cream overnight. Remove the coconut cream and scoop the cream into a large mixing bowl. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla. Using an electric mixer, beat until creamy and smooth, about 1 minute. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
• Use a rubber spatula to spread the whipped cream over the top of the chilled cake. I like to to refrigerate the cake for another 1 or 2 before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F and line an 8 x 13 " baking pan with parchment paper, and spray lightly with oil.
• In a small bowl, combine the soy milk and apple cider vinegar. Mix to combine.
• In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix well.
• Add the milk-vinegar mixture to the bowl with the flour mixture, add the oil, and vanilla, and whisk to combine. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, pour in the aquafaba and using a stand mixer with the whiks attachementor a hand-held mixer whip at medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 4 minutes.
• Pour the whipped aquafaba into the bowl with the cake batter, and fold it in with a spatula until it has completely incorporated into the cake batter.
• Pour the batter into the baking dish and bake in the middle rack of the oven, for 25-30 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
• Remove from oven. Let cake cool for 10 min, and remove from baking dish. Remove parchment paper and let cake cool completely on a rack.
• In a bowl, combine the oatmilk, condensed milk, and evaporated milk. Whisk and set aside.
• Using a serrated knife, gently cut off the top of your cake. Place your cake inside of the baking dish and poke the surface of the cake with a fork. Be sure to press the fork all the way down through the cake.
• Start pouring the milk over the cake starting from the center. Contine pouring until the cake is soaked all over. There might be some liquid that hasn't been absorbed on the sides of the cake, but that's ok. Place in your fridge and let the cake soak overnight.
• When you're ready to serve, top the cake with the coconut whipped topping and spread with a spatula. (Don't add the whipped topping to the cake unless you're ready to serve it.)
• Arrange the sliced strawberries on top of the whipped topping and serve.

Steps:

• For the Cake, preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. Sift flour, sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the baking soda, baking powder and salt into a large bowl or onto a large sheet of parchment paper. Set aside.
• In a separate large bowl, mix coconut milk, vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon of the vanilla and applesauce with a wire whisk until well blended. Set aside.
• Place aquafaba and cream of tartar in bowl of electric stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment. Beat on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 10 minutes. Gently stir or fold whipped aquafaba mixture into bowl with coconut milk mixture until well blended. Gradually add dry ingredient mixture to batter, stirring gently after each addition just until mixed. Pour batter into prepared pan.
• Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack 10 minutes. Remove cake from pan and place on large, shallow-sided serving platter. Poke holes in warm cake with kitchen fork at 1-inch intervals, moving fork side to side to enlarge holes slightly.
• Meanwhile, mix almond milk, cashew milk, sweetened condensed coconut milk, confectioners' sugar, cinnamon, remaining 1/4 teaspoon baking soda and 2 teaspoons vanilla in large bowl with wire whisk. Slowly pour milk mixture over cake, reserving about 1/2 cup liquid for serving, if desired. Cool completely. Cover.
• Refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight to allow milk mixture to absorb into cake. Slice and serve with reserved milk mixture drizzled over cake.
• To make Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk, bring 1 can (13.66 ounces) Thai Kitchen® Coconut Milk to boil in a small saucepan; boil 5 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup agave nectar; reduce heat and simmer 30 to 35 minutes or until the mixture has reduced by half. Set aside and allow to cool completely.
• Test Kitchen Tip: Aquafaba is the cooking liquid remaining after cooking legumes, such as garbanzo beans (chickpeas). You can make fresh aquafaba by cooking dried garbanzo beans in water, or simply use the liquid from canned garbanzo beans. Aquafaba is used as an egg replacement. You can whip it like egg whites for meringues or use it as a substitute for whole eggs in baked goods. 3 tablespoons of aquafaba is equivalent to about one egg, while 2 tablespoons of aquafaba is equivalent to about one egg white. One can of garbanzo beans contains about 1/2 cup of aquafaba.

VEGAN TRES LECHES CAKE ( THREE MILKS CAKE)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350'F.
• Grease and flour an 8 inch cake pan. Line the pan with parchment.
• In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and baking soda.
• In a separate smaller bowl whisk salt, margarine, sugar, water, vanilla and vinegar until blended.
• Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, whisking till smooth. Pour the batter into the cake pan. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Cool the cake in the pan for 5-10 minutes. Remove the cake and allow it to cool. Cut the cooled cake in half horizontally so that it forms two thin layers and put the bottom half of the cake back into the cake pan.
• In a small bowl, mix the cream of coconut and coconut milk together until they form the consistency of condensed milk. Add more of each if necessary.
• In a medium saucepan, whisk together the coconut mixture, soy milk, and non dairy whipping cream until smooth.
• Add the lime juice if desired. Stirring occasionally, bring the milk mixture to a boil.
• (The milk mixture has to reach a full boil prior to pouring it over the cake; otherwise it won't soak into the cake layer).
• Using a small cup or pitcher, pour the hot milk mixture over the bottom half layer of the cake, press with a spatula until all the milk has been absorbed.
• Add a little more milk. Replace the top layer of the cake and pour more milk mixture over the top layer of the cake, press with a spatuala until all the milk is absorbed.
• Let the milk mixture soak into the cake for at least 30 minutes. After the cake has cooked, refrigerate until ready to serve.
• At this point you can add a non-vegan whipped topping and berries if you wish.
• Bon Appetit!
