Yields: 15 slices

Ingredients:

Vanilla Cake:

• 6 tbsp butter (softened)

• 3 large eggs 

• 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk

• 3/4 cup sweetener

• 1 tbsp vanilla extract

• 1/4 cup superfine coconut flour

• 1 1/2 cup superfine almond flour

Tres Leches (3 Milks):

My Homemade Whipped Cream:

Low Carb Condensed Milk

• 2 ½ cup heavy cream

• 4 tbsp butter, unsalted 

• 1 cup sweetener (I used allulose)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• Dash of Salt

Directions:

How to make the Condensed Milk:

1. Start by adding all items for the condensed milk into a sauce pan on medium low heat. Stir until all items are combined.

2. Let this come to a boil, and simmer on low heat for 30-40 minutes. Your milk should have been reduced by half and thickened a bit.

3. Take this off the heat and transfer into a glass bowl. 

4. Refrigerate and let cool for 30 minutes. This will thicken even more overnight, so you can wait until then too.

Full Directions:

1. Start on your condensed milk.

2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

3. In a mixing bowl, whip your butter until fluffy. Add your sweetener, and beat until combined. It should look like whipped butter at this point!

4. Add eggs, almond milk and vanilla extract.

5. Add in the almond flour, coconut flour, and baking powder.

6. At this point, your batter should look nice and smooth. Add batter into pan and flatten. Bake in a 8×8 baking pan for 20-30 minutes, until the cake comes out clean with a knife. The cake should be golden and moist.

7. While your cake is baking, make your milk mixture.

8. Mix your almond milk, heavy cream and condensed milk.

9. Using a toothpick or fork, poke holes in top of the cake (making sure you hit the bottom of the cake) and pour milk mixture over the top.

10. Let cake cool down and refrigerate for 2-3 hours.

11. When you’re ready to serve, make your whipped cream by beating your heavy cream, powdered sweetener and vanilla.

12. Spread the whipped cream on top, add your fruit of choice and serve.
