Pineapple and Coconut Tres Leches Cake

2022 Views

Pineapple and Coconut Tres Leches Cake is a tropical twist on the classic Latin American dessert. This cake is soaked in a combination of three types of milk (tres leches) and topped with a sweet pineapple and coconut mixture, making it rich, moist, and irresistibly delicious. It’s perfect for any celebration or whenever you’re craving something indulgent and tropical.

Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 5 large eggs, separated
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (divided into ¾ cup and ¼ cup)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup whole milk

For the Milk Mixture:

  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 (12 oz) can evaporated milk
  • 1 cup coconut milk (or heavy cream for a richer version)

For the Pineapple Topping:

  • 1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple, drained
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Whipped Cream Topping:

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Garnishing:

  • ½ cup shredded sweetened coconut, toasted
  • Pineapple slices or chunks (optional)

Optional Add-Ins:

  • 1 tablespoon rum in the milk mixture for an extra depth of flavor
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest for brightness

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Cake Batter

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks with ¾ cup sugar until thick and pale, about 2-3 minutes. Mix in the vanilla extract and whole milk.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg yolk mixture until just combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites on high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining ¼ cup sugar, beating until stiff peaks form.
  6. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter until fully incorporated.

Step 2: Bake the Cake

  1. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
  2. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  3. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.

Step 3: Make the Milk Mixture

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and coconut milk (or heavy cream). Stir until well combined.

Step 4: Soak the Cake

  1. Once the cake has cooled slightly, poke holes all over the cake using a fork or toothpick.
  2. Slowly pour the milk mixture over the entire cake, making sure to soak the cake evenly.
  3. Cover the cake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the cake to absorb the milk mixture.

Step 5: Make the Pineapple Topping

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the drained crushed pineapple, sugar, and vanilla extract.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the pineapple thickens slightly and the sugar dissolves, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and let the pineapple topping cool completely.

Step 6: Prepare the Whipped Cream Topping

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form.

Step 7: Assemble the Cake

  1. Spread the cooled pineapple topping evenly over the soaked cake.
  2. Gently spread the whipped cream topping over the pineapple layer.
  3. Sprinkle the top with toasted coconut and garnish with pineapple slices or chunks if desired.

Step 8: Chill and Serve

  1. Chill the cake for an additional 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
  2. Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your delicious Pineapple and Coconut Tres Leches Cake!

Cooking Notes

  • Coconut Milk: You can use coconut cream for a richer flavor, but be sure to adjust the sweetness of the milk mixture accordingly.
  • Toasting Coconut: To toast the coconut, place it in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until golden brown and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Variations

1. Mango and Coconut Tres Leches Cake

Replace the pineapple topping with mango puree or fresh diced mango for a tropical variation that pairs beautifully with coconut.

2. Pineapple Rum Tres Leches Cake

Add 1-2 tablespoons of dark rum to the milk mixture for an extra layer of flavor reminiscent of a tropical cocktail.

3. Chocolate Tres Leches Cake

For a chocolate twist, substitute ½ cup of cocoa powder for some of the flour in the cake batter. Keep the pineapple and coconut toppings for a delicious contrast.

Store any leftover cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. The cake will stay moist as it continues to absorb the milk mixture.

  1. Bazzico su sti giochi da un annetto e onestamente la ruota mi ha portato piu soddisfazioni di quanto pensassi. Non sono il tipo che sbrocca con le puntate, in genere butto un paio di euro a spin e tanto basta. Il lobby che trovi su Crazy Time e messo bene: si parla di 2000 e rotti slot mettendo dentro NetEnt, Play’n GO e Pragmatic, quindi i classiconi come Gates of Olympus, Sweet Bonanza e Book of Dead non mancano.

    La parte live e gestita da Evolution e si vede. Croupier veri, che parlano anche italiano nelle ore di punta, e i game show sono proprio quelli dove butto la maggior parte del tempo. Di tanto in tanto mi guardo le stats dei bonus prima di sedermi, piu per abitudine che per logica.

    La promo d’ingresso che ti da Crazy Time in questo periodo sta sul 100% fino a 300€ piu 200 giri gratis, distribuiti su piu giorni. Esiste anche un piccolo no deposit dopo la verifica dei documenti. Il wagering e sui 35x, che non e regalato, meglio leggersi il regolamento: trovi le condizioni complete andando su Alex07wx profile se ti interessa approfondire.

    Per i soldi va abbastanza bene. Ho usato Skrill e mi sono arrivati in mezza giornata circa, con Visa ci vogliono 3 giorni buoni. C’e anche Bitcoin, che pero non ho testato. Deposito minimo 10 euro, l’iscrizione rapida. L’unica cosa che mi ha rotto e stata la verifica: mi hanno rifiutato la bolletta due volte per un motivo assurdo.

    Il supporto di Crazy Time parla italiano ed e gia qualcosa, anche se dopo mezzanotte i tempi si allungano. Da telefono gira liscio dal browser, l’app per Android va, ma preferisco il sito. Come licenza MGA di Malta, non e ADM, e questo per qualcuno e un punto a sfavore. Nel frattempo io resto, con la testa a posto.

  3. Gram tu od jakichs trzech miesiecy, wiec troche materialu do oceny sie uzbieralo. Trafilem tam przez kumpla z pracy, bo szukalem czegos, gdzie wyplaty nie ciagna sie tydzien. Sam katalog w Fiery Play jest naprawde spore — grubo ponad 2000 slotow, chociaz szczerze mowiac gram na jakichs pietnastu.

    Softu dostarczaja standardowa czolowka: Pragmatic Play, Play’n GO, NetEnt, troche Yggdrasil i Betsoft. Book of Dead i Gates of Olympus siedza na gorze listy, ale mnie bardziej wciagnely te ciezsze automaty od Big Time Gaming. Dzial z krupierami to Evolution, wiec Crazy Time, blackjack i te wszystkie teleturnieje. Stoly po polsku owszem sa, ale nie o kazdej porze.

    Powitalny pakiet prezentuje sie niezle: 100% do jakichs 1500 zl i 150 spinow, obroty leca partiami. Obrot ustawiony jest na x35, a wiec normalnie, choc bez fajerwerkow. Swieze oferty razem z kodami najlepiej podejrzec na bonus w FieryPlay zanim sie zarejestrujesz. Cos na wzor bonusu bez depozytu czasem sie pojawia, ale to raczej symboliczna kwota.

    Rejestracja zajela mi doslownie trzy minuty, prog wplaty to jakies 40-50 zl. Uzywam karty i Neteller, Visa, Mastercard bez problemu, obsluguja tez Bitcoina. Wyplacanie w Fiery Play zajmowalo jakies 6-12 godzin na Skrilla, na karte dluzej, ze dwa-trzy dni. Jedyne co mnie wkurzylo to weryfikacja — odrzucili mi rachunek za prad bo byl zbyt stary, w koncu poszlo gladko.

    Mobilnie korzystam z przegladarki bez instalowania czegokolwiek. Chodzi plynnie, tylko live czasem przycina na LTE. Support Fiery Play obsluguje polski i to nie translatorem, odpowiedz przychodzila w kilka minut. Papiery maja z Curacao — standard dla stron dostepnych z Polski. Wazne, ze pieniadze wracaja i nie ma cyrku z odmowami.

  5. Been using Nonebet for about six months now, mostly late nights, and might as well dump some thoughts since a mate asked me. Signup was painless — email, password, done, though the KYC bit showed up when I went to cash out, which is normal enough. You only need $10 which is fair.

    Game selection is huge — they claim over 3,000 games last I looked. Play’n GO stuff is everywhere, so Gates of Olympus and Sweet Bonanza get pushed hard. I tend to grind Big Time Gaming Megaways when I want longer sessions. Microgaming back catalogue is there as well. The live section runs on Evolution, so you get real croupiers, roulette running 24/7 and Crazy Time and Monopoly Live which I watch more than I play.

    The welcome deal when I joined was 100% up to $500 plus 100 free spins, rollover sits at 35x which is standard for AU-facing sites, not generous. They also had a no-deposit spins offer at one point but don’t count on it. Offers rotate a lot so it’s worth reading the actual T&Cs at Nonebet Casino Guide on racetime before you claim anything. The one thing that annoyed me was the max bet rule while wagering — I busted it by accident once and lost the lot. Lesson learned.

    Cashouts at Nonebet have been pretty quick. Crypto came back within a couple of hours every time I’ve done it, Skrill and Neteller were 24 hours or so, but the Visa one dragged out to nearly four days which felt long. Funding is instant via card, Skrill, Neteller and the usual coins.

    Support answered me at 2am, not just a bot loop once you get past the bot. No app for Nonebet as far as I can tell — it’s just the mobile browser, but it runs fine on my Android. It’s a Curacao licence, which isn’t the ACMA, obviously, something to be aware of for us down here.

  15. Signed up to Single Bet Calculator for the best part of a year, mainly on my phone during the commute, so this is just my experience. The lobby is genuinely big — roughly 2,500 games by my count, with the big names in there: Play’n GO, Big Time Gaming, NetEnt. Gates of Olympus and Sweet Bonanza get most of my spins, though I’ve had more luck on the Megaways stuff.

    Their sign-up deal was 100% up to ?500 and 50 spins, with wagering at 35x on the bonus. To be fair, I only cleared it because I was playing anyway — you’ve got 7 days on the spins, and that caught me out. A no deposit offer floats about too — about ?5 if you verify early, small, but I’ll take it.

    I’d say the live side is the stronger half. Evolution power it, meaning you’ve got actual dealers, loads of roulette and blackjack seats, plus stuff like — Crazy Time being the obvious one. Never had a stream drop on me, which some sites still can’t manage. Worth a look at the up-to-date terms over on double bet calculator since these things change monthly.

    Getting money out of Single Bet Calculator land faster than I expected — Skrill came back in under 12 hours for me, Visa took 2-3 working days. They take Visa, Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller and Paysafe, deposits start at ?20. The KYC held me up the first time — they wanted a utility bill and it sat there two days.

    Sign-up took me about five minutes, they hold a UK licence with all the safer gambling tools baked in. There’s no dedicated app, but the site scales fine on Android and iOS and I’ve had no issues. The live chat at Single Bet Calculator answers within a few minutes usually, though you have to get past the bot first. Human staff sorted my query in one go.
