This vegan tofu quiche ranks among my favorites! One of the simplest things to create, as well!

| Total Time: | 2 hrs |
| Servings: | 12 |
| Yield: | 1 10×15-inch cake |
Ingredients
- 6 medium eggs, separated
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (Optional)
- 1 cup whipped cream (Optional)
- 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries (Optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10×15-inch baking dish.
- Make the cake: Beat egg whites in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar until mixture is glossy. Beat in egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Reduce the speed to medium and mix in flour, about 1 tablespoon at a time. Mix in milk, baking powder, and vanilla. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes.
- Make the tres leches: Combine condensed milk, evaporated milk, and cream in a blender. Pulse several times until well blended.
- Pour tres leches over cake. Cover and refrigerate until cake is cold and all liquid has been absorbed at least 1 hour.
- Cut chilled cake into 12 squares. Top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream and a few sliced strawberries.
- Aluminum foil helps keep food moist, ensures it cooks evenly, keeps leftovers fresh, and makes clean-up easy.

The family lives this! Always a goto, even when everyone seems tired of it. Lol. The only change I make is I let it cook for 25 minutes, then let it set in the oven for 10 minutes to finish cooking.
Just a soggy cake! Yuck. Nothing like the picture. Very disappointed!
Best cake I’ve ever had by far. I had this at a restaurant for the first time and wanted to try making it. Landed on this recipe and it was fantastic. Wouldn’t change a thing.
This was an amazing dessert family frienly everyone loved it although I did have some problems getting the whole thing to get moist and getting it to the perfect coniistancy. Overall amazing dessert thank you so much!
It was a very moist cake, and I could have made an error when making it but I haven’t a clue what that could have been. It was a very wet cake but very tasty.
Love this recipe. Cake becomes flat when I take it out of the oven. Anyone else experience this? Just want to make sure I did things correctly.
Great Recipe! Super Easy to Follow and it turned out great!
Soooo yummy! My family absolutely loved the cake. I would recommend adding a little less of the milk mixture (condensed, evaporated and the whipping cream). There was some excess liquid but other than that, the cake was absolutely delicious. Will definitely be making again
I definitely loved this cake and it was truly amazing it had so much flavor!
My son- in -law requested this cake for his birthday. I’ve never made this. I reviewed several recipes and picked this recipe. It was not as difficult as thought to make. And turned out fabulous. He didn’t want an icing, so we just used canned whipped cream. I’ll certainly make this again.
Was a little nervous about this one since I only had about 8 people at my party and this is a pretty decent sized cake. I shouldn’t have worried. Everyone got a small piece and then most went back for a second, larger piece. (Some even went back for a 3rd). Cake was easy to make and recipe was easy to follow. One of my guests asked me to make for their birthday. So all in all I’d say it was a hit!
I have tasted this cake and now I have the recipe to make it. Yay????
I used coconut milk instead of evaporated milk. Even better! Topped with whipped cream and toasted, unsweetened coconut chips.
amazing!!
I made this in a 9″ X 13″ pan and extended the cooking time by 4 minutes. Other than that I followed the directions. This cake is wonderful. The folks at work are calling for the recipe.
Made it for my neighbors birthday (who is Mexican) she cried because she remembered when she was a child her mother always made her favorite Tres Leches cake on her birthday. It was delicious. Thank you for the recipe and the happy memories.
Turned out really well… the cake fell quite a bit after coming out of the oven, and even after sitting in the fridge over night it didn’t soak up all the milk syrup. But, it was super tasty and I can’t wait to serve it at our Taco Tuesday potluck today.
i made it but for some reason the center of it collapsed so i have all 4 sides and a middle half empty lol so the milks went in the middle lol
We have made this cake MANY times. My kids have even taken it to school for Spanish class… it was devoured by picky teenagers. Our entire family loves it. I make it exactly per the recipe and make fresh whipping cream with sugar and vanilla. Amazing!
This was amazing!!!! The trick is to not contaminate the egg whites with the yolks so that the whites can fluff up a lot. One time I made the cake and accidentally got some yolk in the white mixture, but it did not affect it too much, other than the fact that it rose less, even then, it still had volume. Hands down my favorite cake recipe!!!!!
Although not all of the cream mixture soaked into the cake, it wasn’t much of a problem at all. The cake was extremely moist and rich. It was a perfect balance with the liquid cream mixture to balance out the sweetness. Including the whipped cream and strawberries, the entire dessert was delightful. The strawberries paired perfectly with the cake itself. Highly recommend this recipe! (Note: instead of chilling for an hour, I’d give it 2-3 or overnight.)
