Here’s Why You’ll Love This Pumpkin Spice Latte Tres Leches Cake:
All the deliciousness of traditional pumpkin spice latte, but in a moist cake
Simple ingredients and very little equipment needed - you literally only need a bowl and whisk to make the sponge!
Lots of warm spiced flavours - perfect for the colder months!
Easy enough for all beginner cake makers
Made without eggs or dairy it can be made vegan and adapted for allergies
Key Ingredients
Flour: The trick to a well risen eggless cake is self raising flour, in combination with levelling agents (trust me!)
Light and Dark Brown Sugar: Packed with molasses offering depth of flavours, more robust richness and moisture to your cake.
Dairy free Butter Milk: I recommend using milk with at least 2% fat content. Making a dairy free buttermilk is super easy - just combine milk and vinegar!
Yoghurt - this acts as our egg replacer, helping to bind the ingredients together and create that ulta moist texture.
Pumpkin: because you can't have a PSL without it! It adds flavour, moisture and colour to this tres leches cake
Coffee: adding depth of flavour, the coffee undertones pair so well with the warmth and sweetness from the sponge
The first step is to make your buttermilk - and honestly it couldn't be easier! All we do is add vinegar or lemon juice to milk, letting it curdle and thicken to a consistency similar to dairy buttermilk. Soy milk is the best option to use for a creamy buttermilk as it curdles the best, but almond also works (it will just be a lot thinner!)
Pumpkin Sponge:
Pumpkin: canned pumpkin is your best friend here! It's already prepped and so creamy adding sweetness, moisture and colour to the sponge
Pumpkin Spices: a blend of spices that tastes sweet and spicy, with notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves
Light and Dark Brown Sugar: Packed with molasses offering depth of flavours, more robust richness and moisture to your cake.
