Tres Leches

Tres Leches can be made easily by buying a box of yellow cake mix (gluten-free if anyone has wheat or gluten issues), use whatever plant-based milk you prefer and egg substitute of your choice. Flax meal is very nutritious, but the white, powdered kind from the baking isle works great too! Follow the egg-making instructions (usually mix the powder or meal with water and wait 5 minutes before mixing with the cake ingredients). Follow the baking instructions, use oil or vegan butter to grease the pan, and make the leche sauce with about 15oz non-dairy heavy whipping cream (usually in the cold dairy section), and a can each of vegan evaporated milk and sweetened condenced milk. A splash of vanilla extract optional. Mix together and chill. Poke holes all over the cake when it comes out, and allow to cool, then pour the sauce over till it absorbs. If the cake resists the sauce, you may need to squeeze it a bit to help the leche mixture soak in deeper. You can buy a tub of whipped cream from the desert freezer section or a spray can from the dairy aisle to top the cake. Use a spoon or spatula to flatten this layer on top of the cake. Decorative fruit optional.
