Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp Baking powder
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)
• 2 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Full-fat coconut milk
• 1 cup Unsweetened oat milk
• 1 cup Sweetened condensed coconut milk
• 2 cups Coconut whipped cream
• 0.5 tsp Ground cinnamon (for garnish, optional)
• 1 cup Fresh berries (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch square baking pan or a similarly sized round pan.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes to create a vegan 'buttermilk'.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegan buttermilk, sugar, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

While the cake bakes, prepare the three-milk mixture by whisking together the coconut milk, oat milk, and sweetened condensed coconut milk in a bowl.

Step 8

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Once slightly cooled, use a skewer or fork to poke holes all over the surface of the cake.

Step 9

Slowly pour the three-milk mixture over the cake, ensuring it soaks evenly. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best results.

Step 10

Before serving, spread a generous layer of coconut whipped cream over the top of the cake.

Step 11

Garnish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon and fresh berries, if desired.

Step 12

Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your vegan Tres Leches Cake!
