Equipment

  • 9x13 baking dish

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cup All purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 3/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 1/2 cup Soy Milk
  • 3 tsp Vanilla
  • 1/2 Cup Olive Oil
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Vinegar

Frosting

  • 1/2 Cup Coconut Milk
  • 1 Cup Vegan Butter Softened
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 3 1/2 Cups Powdered Sugar

Tres Leches Milk

  • 1/4 Cup Coconut Milk
  • 1/2 Cup Soy Milk
  • 1/4 Cup Coconut cream

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Add the rest of the wet ingredients and mix until combined. Pour into a greased 9x13 baking dish and cook for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Set aside to cool.
  • While the cake is cooling, place all of the ingredients for the frosting in the food processor and mix until combined.
  • Mix together the milks for the tres leches filling.
  • Once the cake has cooled, poke holes into the cake either using a fork or the end of a wooden spoon. Drizzle the milk filling over the cake and allow the cake to absorb the milk. Do this in increments to give time for the cake to soak up the liquid.
  • Lastly, frost cake and decorate with berries. If you want to use toasted coconut, I just put shredded coconut on a pan and let cook at 350 for about 5-10 minutes, watching it closely! It browns quickly!

Notes

You can serve this immediately or put in the fridge to cool. This is perfect for a party or cookout! There's no dairy in this at all!
