Fresh on TBG: I’m sharing a gluten-free dairy free version of the beloved Latin American dessert tres leches cake. 🍰 

My last job before I fled the restaurant industry was a pastry chef position at a Latin American restaurant here in SF. We always had tres leches cake on the menu. I would bake the cake in a big sheet pan and use a biscuit cutter to cut out individual round cakelets. We’d serve these up in shallow bowls topped with whipped cream and seasonal fruit. 

While I didn’t have any health insurance or PTO, the biggest benefit of this job was all the cake scraps I could eat. The crispy edges of sponge cake were my favorite, soaked with extra milk mixture and nibbled with decaf at the end of my shift. 

Thankfully that job didn’t ruin tres leches cake for me! I developed this gluten-free dairy free version for my column in gffmag and another similar version for my cookbook. Now I’m sharing it on TBG (linked the_bojon_gourmet) 

A foolproof GF chiffon cake soaks up sweet coconut milk for a tender dessert that sits somewhere between cake and pudding. Top it with whipped coconut cream and fresh berries for a dreamy summer treat. 

Bojon appétit!
