Coffee Soaked Tres Leches Cake Recipe: Veggie

Ingredients:

4 free-range eggs, separated
a pinch of baking powder
a pinch of salt
100g sugar
75g butter, melted
100g self-raising flour
1 carton Arctic Iced Coffee, Latte or Skinny
80ml condensed milk
200ml double cream 
30g coconut shavings, toasted

method:

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Grease and line a 20cm x 20cm baking tin. Beat the egg whites in a large bowl. Once they start to stiffen, add the baking powder and salt, and beat to soft peaks. Lower the speed of the mixer, then gradually add the egg yolks and sugar. Continue mixing, until smooth.
  • Use a spatula to fold in the melted butter, then carefully fold in the flour in three or four batches, until the mixture is well-combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared tray, and bake 30 to 35 minutes in the oven, until it’s well-risen and springs back when you gently press the top.
  • While the cake is still hot, poke lots of holes all over it with a skewer. Make the holes deep and close together. Beat together the Arctic Iced Coffee and condensed milk. Pour half of the mixture over the cake, little by little, giving it time to soak in before adding more. Cover loosely and refrigerate for two hours.
  • Lift the cake out of the tin, using the greaseproof paper. Slide it off the paper onto a serving plate with a lipped edge. Poke more holes in the cake and pour over half of the remaining coffee mixture, then return the cake to the fridge.
  • When you're ready to serve, whip the double cream with the remaining coffee mixture, until it forms soft peaks. Spread the cream over the cake, then scatter with toasted coconut.
