Ingredients

• 2 cups Full-fat coconut milk
• 1 cup Almond milk
• 0.5 cup Coconut cream
• 0.75 cup Raw sugar
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom powder
• 2 tablespoons Vegan butter
• 2 tablespoons Slivered almonds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a heavy-bottomed pan, combine the coconut milk, almond milk, and coconut cream. Heat the mixture over medium heat and bring it to a gentle simmer.

Step 2

Add the raw sugar and stir constantly until it is fully dissolved. Let the mixture simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes or until it reduces to half its original volume.

Step 3

Stir in lemon juice to help curdle the mixture slightly, mimicking the texture of traditional milk cake. Continue simmering for 15 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Add the cardamom powder and vegan butter, stirring well to combine. The mixture will thicken and start pulling away from the sides of the pan.

Step 5

Transfer the thickened mixture into a greased or parchment-lined square pan or any dish of your choice. Smooth it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

Let the milk cake cool to room temperature, then refrigerate it for at least 2 hours to set completely.

Step 7

Cut the set milk cake into squares or diamonds. Optionally, garnish with slivered almonds before serving.

Step 8

Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy your vegan traditional milk cake!
