VEGAN TRES LECHES CAKE

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, stir together the soy milk and apple cider vinegar.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and lightly grease an 8-by-8 or 7-by-11 inch baking dish.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
• To the bowl with the soy milk, add the oil, sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Whisk well to combine. Stir in the dry mixture and mix until no lumps remain.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (Wait until at least 20 minutes have passed before opening the oven door at all). The 7-by-11 cake size takes around 30 minutes to bake, and the 8-by-8 size takes around 35 minutes.
• Let the cake cool for at least an hour. (You could potentially prepare the sweetened condensed milk while the cake bakes and cools). Using a chopstick, skewer, or a toothpick in a pinch, poke holes throughout the cake, spaced about 1/2 inch apart. The distance isn't very important, just make to poke lots of holes all over.
• Retrieve the coconut milk from the refrigerator and gently scoop out the cream on top. Either turn this into coconut whip to top the cake if you like, or reserve it for another use (curry, etc.). Take the rest of the liquid from the can and mix it together with the sweetened condensed milk. Pour this milk mixture over the top of the cake. You'll need to do it in several stages, waiting in between for the cake to soak up the milk. When the cake is pretty much saturated with the milk, you're done - you may or may not need all of it.
• This cake is best served cold, so if you have time, refrigerate it. However, it still tastes pretty darn good if you eat it right away :) leftovers will keep for up to 3 days in the fridge.

VEGAN TRES LECHES CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 11x7-inch baking pan.
• Mix egg replacer with 1/2 cup water in a bowl. Add sugar and beat with an electric mixer until well combined. Beat in remaining 1/4 cup water, vanilla extract, and coconut extract. Add flour, baking powder, and salt, beating until batter is smooth. Pour into the baking pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 28 to 33 minutes. Cool for 1 hour on a wire rack.
• Combine sweetened condensed coconut milk, dairy-free heavy whipping cream, cream of coconut, vanilla, and coconut extract in a bowl for the tres leches sauce.
• Poke holes into the top of the cooled cake with a skewer. Pour sauce over the cake using a large spoon, allowing it to soak into the holes. Cover and refrigerate until most of the sauce is absorbed, at least 4 hours.

VEGAN TRES LECHES CAKE

Steps:

• For the Cake, preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8-inch (20-cm) square baking pan with parchment paper. Sift flour, sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons (7 ml) 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 (15 ml) 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 (2.5 cm) intervals, moving fork side to side to enlarge holes slightly.
• Meanwhile, mix almond milk, cashew milk, sweetened condensed coconut milk, icing sugar, cinnamon, remaining 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) baking soda and 2 teaspoons (10 ml) vanilla in large bowl with wire whisk. Slowly pour milk mixture over cake, reserving about 1/2 cup (125 ml) 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 (400 ml) Thai Kitchen® Coconut Milk to boil in a small saucepan; boil 5 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup (60 ml) 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 (45 ml) of aquafaba is equivalent to about one egg, while 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of aquafaba is equivalent to about one egg white. One can of garbanzo beans contains about 1/2 cup (125 ml) of aquafaba.

TRES LECHES CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Lightly oil and line the base and sides of a 20cm square cake tin.
• Put the egg whites in a large bowl with a pinch of salt. Beat with an electric hand whisk until foamy, about 3 mins. Keep mixing while you add 150g of the sugar, a spoonful at a time, until thick and glossy.
• In another bowl, mix the egg yolks, remaining sugar and vanilla (no need to clean the beaters first) for 2 mins, or until pale and foamy. Add the flour, baking powder and milk to the egg yolks, and use a spatula to fold everything together.
• Add a large spoonful of egg white to the cake mix, beat together to loosen the mixture, then gently fold through the remaining egg whites with a large metal spoon (being careful not to over-stir so you don't knock out too much air), until you have a smooth batter.
• Pour into the tin, smooth the top and bake for 40-45 mins until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Mix together the evaporated milk, condensed milk and 3 tbsp of the cream.
• Leave the cake to cool for 10 mins in the tin, then ease a knife around the sides. Poke holes over the surface with a skewer, then pour over half the milk mixture. After 5 mins or so, most of it should have soaked into the cake. Leave for another 5 mins, then transfer to a plate and pour over some of the remaining milk until it starts to leak a little. (Any leftover milk that won't soak into the cake can be served on the side.) Leave to cool.
• Whip the remaining cream and icing sugar together until holding soft peaks. Spread the cream over the cake and sprinkle with a little cinnamon. Can be made and chilled a day ahead. Serve in squares with any remaining soaking milk.

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!
