Oat Milk Tres Leches Cake

July 6, 2021Cole Whitney
Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Beginner

We made our favorite tres leches cake plant-based by replacing the dairy with 5% oat milk. Then we soak this light and spongy cake with a trio of oat milk blends, including our sweetened condensed oat milk. This tres leches con avena cake is an utterly delightful take on the original.

Ingredients

  • 5 Large Eggs,~250g, Separated Whites and Yolks
  • Sugar 225g (1 cup)
  • All purpose flour 120g (1 cup)
  • Baking powder 7g (1 ½ tsp)
  • Oat Milk (5%)(for cake) 80g (⅓ cup)
  • Salt, Kosher 5g (1 tsp)
  • 240g (1 cup) Water
  • 240g (1 cup) Sugar
  • 12.5g (2 tbsp) Rolled Oats
  • Oat milk (5%) (for the soak) 400g (14 oz)
  • Oat milk (7%) 60g (2 oz)
  • (made with 70g of oats, see recipe)

Equipment

  • I’m Free Perfect Bread Pan
  • Stand Mixer with a Whisk Attachment
  • Pan Spray

Timing

Active Time: 15 Minutes

Total Time: 3 Hours

Yield

1 Cake

  • Prepare Cake Mixture

    Preheat oven to 350°F

    In a stand mixer place the egg yolks and sugar and beat on low until sugar incorporates and the color lightens.

    Add the oat milk and whisk until just combined

    Sift together the baking powder, salt, and all purpose flour. Add the flour mixture in 3 increments until just combined, do not over mix.

    In a separate bowl whisk the egg white to soft peaks and then fold them into the cake batter.

  • Bake Cake

    Spray a high sided loaf pan with pan spray. We prefer our I’m free perfect bread pan.

    Pour batter into the cake pan and bake for 35 minutes.

    Remove the cake from the oven and poke with a skewer about 25 times. We like 5 rows of 5 holes evenly spaced.

    Allow it to cool for 1 hour.

  • Create Sweetened Condensed Oat Milk

    In a blender mix together water, sugar, and oats. Blend for 1 minute

    Pour through a fine strainer into a sauce pan.

    Heat this mixture until it comes to a simmer at this point it will become very thick

    Allow it to cool and measure out 300g for the soak

  • Mix Oat Milks, Soak, Serve

    Mix together the 3 oat milks.

    Once cooled, pour the 3 oat milks over the cake and allow it to soak in completely. About 1 hour.

    Slice and serve.
