Steps

1

Here are the ingredients. To make sure your cake flour is vegan, read the ingredients list. It should NOT contain eggs, milk, or butter.
2

Nonstick spray and vegan tres leches mix.
3

Spray the baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and dust with all-purpose flour to prevent the cake from sticking.
4

In a bowl, pour in the cake mix and add the egg replacer. Prepare the egg replacer by mixing the tablespoons with a little water. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then add it to the cake mix. Use a mixer to beat until you get a smooth, creamy consistency.
5

Bake the mixture for 20 minutes at 350°F. The cake is done when a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6

Let the cake cool for 10 to 15 minutes. Use a fork to poke holes all over the cake, spacing them about half an inch to an inch apart. (Don’t poke all the way through the cake, just partway.)
7

Now prepare the milk mixture. The cake mix package should include a mix for the milk. Add this to a bowl along with the 4 cups of almond milk. Whisk by hand until fully combined.
8

Once the milk mixture is ready, you can leave the cake in the baking dish or transfer it to a deep bowl. Slowly pour the milk mixture over the cake, letting it soak in through the holes. Pour all the milk over the cake, then cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Seal and let it rest for 6 to 8 hours. After that, it’s ready to decorate and serve.

I was in a hurry at the end and didn’t get a chance to take a photo of the finished cake, but here it was almost ready. I just needed to put it in the serving dish and add more fruit and the whipped frosting. (If you make it, please share a photo—I’d love to see yours!)
