Tres Leches Cake

Ingredients

Cake

  • 1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 cups soy milk
  • 25 deglet dates
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 can sparkling water (or milk or plain water)
  • 2 cups soy milk (for soaking after baking)


Frosting

  • 20 dates
  • 1 cup soy milk
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • strawberries, sliced to top

Method

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

For the cake, whisk together flour, cinnamon, and baking powder in a large mixing bowl.

Blend the soy milk, dates, and vanilla and add to the mixing bowl along with the sparkling water.

Stir it all together and pour into an 8x8 pyrex

Bake for 35 minutes, uncovered.

Take the cake out of the oven and let it cool on a rack for at least 15 minutes.

With the end of a chopstick, poke the heck out of the cake until perforated very well. Really give’er.

Add the 2 cups of soy milk, cover, and soak in the fridge for a few hours or overnight.

For the frosting, blend the soy milk, dates, and cinnamon and pour over the top of the cake. Slice the strawberries and top before serving.
