Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1 cup tapioca flour
• 2 tablespoons coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 5 large eggs
• 0.5 cup maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups full-fat coconut milk
• 1 cup almond milk (unsweetened)
• 0.5 cup coconut cream
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 cup fresh berries (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and sea salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the maple syrup and vanilla extract.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and stir until a smooth batter forms.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.

Step 6

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

While the cake is baking, prepare the 'tres leches' soaking mixture by whisking together the coconut milk, almond milk, coconut cream, and honey in a medium bowl.

Step 8

Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes in the pan.

Step 9

Using a fork, poke holes all over the surface of the cake to help it absorb the liquid.

Step 10

Slowly pour the tres leches mixture over the cake, ensuring the liquid is evenly distributed. Allow the cake to sit for at least 1 hour (or ideally overnight in the refrigerator) to fully soak up the liquid.

Step 11

Before serving, garnish the cake with fresh berries or your favorite Paleo-friendly toppings.

Step 12

Slice into squares and enjoy your delicious Paleo Tres Leches Cake!
