COCONUT-LIME TRES LECHES CAKE

As someone whose greatest fear in life is dry cake, Tres Leches Cake holds a special place in my heart, as it is impossible not to be dry. While its exact origins are unknown, it is popular all over Latin America, especially in Mexico and Nicaragua, and I fell in love with it through my husband's love of Mexican food. This version has toasted coconut and lime, two flavors that go deliciously with the milky creamy flavors of Tres Leches cake.

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Beat the egg whites in a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment on medium speed until foamy, about 1 minute. With the mixer still on, slowly add 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Continue until shiny medium-stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes. Remove the egg whites to a medium bowl and set aside.
  • Add the egg yolks and remaining 3/4 cup granulated sugar to the same bowl of the stand mixer with the same whisk attachment (no need to wash). Beat on medium speed until pale yellow and doubled in volume, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the milk and vanilla, then the lime zest and coconut, beating constantly. Reduce the speed to low and add the flour mixture until just combined.
  • Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the egg white mixture into the batter in 3 additions until the egg whites are no longer visible.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a tester comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer the pan to a rack and let cool slightly.
  • For the tres leches: Whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk and whole milk in a large measuring cup with a spout. Using a round metal skewer or a fork, poke holes all over the top of the cake, but don't go all the way down to the bottom (this will help the cake absorb the milk!). Pour the milk all over the cake very slowly and a little at a time (this will help distribute the milk throughout the cake). When all of the milk has been poured into the cake and absorbed, cover and refrigerate 2 to 3 hours, preferably overnight.
  • For the topping: Combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, cinnamon and salt in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes. Dollop, then spread over the top of the cake. Sprinkle with the coconut, then then the lime zest. Cut into 15 rectangles. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator.

Steps:

  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl.
  • In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together with an electric mixer until light, fluffy, and nearly doubled in size, 6-8 minutes.
  • Using a spatula, gently fold in the flour mixture until just combined (some streaks of flour are okay).
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Combine the milk and vanilla extract in a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, then gently fold into the batter, mixing just to blend.
  • Spray 2 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pans with nonstick cooking spray. Divide the batter between the pans.
  • Bake until the cakes are golden brown around the edges and spring back slightly when pressed in the center, about 20-25 minutes.
  • While the cakes are baking, combine the evaporated milk, coconut milk and condensed milk in a liquid measuring cup or small bowl and whisk to blend.
  • Once the cakes are done, immediately remove the cakes from the pans and invert them onto a wire rack or baking sheet. Cool for 2 minutes. Then, poke the cakes all over with a fork.
  • Return the cakes to the pans. Drizzle the condensed milk mixture over the cakes, letting it soak in. Let sit for 15 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar with an electric hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
  • Carefully transfer one of the cakes to a cake stand.
  • Spread a layer of the whipped cream over the cake. Place the other cake on top and spread with the remaining whipped cream.
  • Decorate with berries, if desired.
  • Slice and serve.
  • Enjoy!

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)
