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.

Time 3h20m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon butter, for greasing
1 box white cake mix (18 ounces)
1 1/4 cups water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (2 medium bananas)
One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup coconut cream
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
1/4 cup canned coconut cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup coconut chips, toasted

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with parchment, leaving about 4 inches of overhang on the long sides. Generously grease the parchment with the butter.
  • In a stand mixer on low speed, beat the cake mix, water, oil, eggs and mashed bananas for 30 seconds. Raise the speed to medium and beat for another 2 minutes, scraping down the bowl as necessary.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool.
  • Using the parchment "handles," remove the cake to platter. With a fork, poke holes every 1/2 inch in the top of the cake.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the condensed milk, coconut cream and whipping cream and then pour evenly over the top of the cake. Cover and refrigerate until the mixture is absorbed into the cake, at least 2 hours and up to 4 hours.
  • For the frosting: In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the cream to soft peaks. Turn off the mixer and add the coconut cream, powdered sugar and vanilla. Whip until stiff peaks form.
  • Spread the frosting over the cake and garnish with the toasted coconut chips. Store loosely covered in the refrigerator.

Yield Makes 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 cups sifted cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/3 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup light butter, softened
1/2 cup puréed bananas (approximately 1/2 banana)
3/4 cup skim milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon pure coconut extract
1/2 cup egg whites, stiffly beaten
1/2 (14-ounce) can fat-free sweetened condensed milk
3/4 cup evaporated skim milk
2/3 cup light coconut milk
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons dark rum
4 bananas, sliced
1 2/3 cups fat-free whipped topping
2 tablespoons toasted shredded coconut

Steps:

  • Sift the cake flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Cream the sugar, butter and banana purée in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Add 1/3 flour mixture and 1/3 skim milk alternately; mixing well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla and coconut extracts. Fold in the egg whites. Spray a 6 x 8-inch cake pan with nonstick cooking spray. Flour the pan. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake at 375°F for 50 minutes or until the cake tests done. Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Combine the condensed milk, 3/4 cup skim milk and coconut milk in a bowl; mix well. Arrange the cake on a serving platter. Poke holes all over the cake with a wooden pick or skewer. Spoon the milk mixture over the cake. Cover the cake and chill in the refrigerator for 4 hours. Combine the brown sugar and rum in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the mixture reduces to a syrupy consistency. Add the bananas and stir gently to coat the fruit. Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature. Top each serving of cake with whipped topping and a scattering of toasted coconut. Serve the bananas on the side.
