Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 5 large eggs, separated
- 1/3 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
- 1 cup heavy cream, divided
- 2 large ripe mangoes, pureed
- 1 ripe mango, diced for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat egg yolks with 1/2 cup of the sugar until pale and fluffy. Stir in whole milk and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1/2 cup sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold egg whites into the yolk mixture, then carefully fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Pour batter into prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow cake to cool completely.
- In a large bowl, whisk together mango puree, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and 1/2 cup heavy cream.
- Using a fork, poke holes evenly across the cooled cake. Slowly pour the mango milk mixture over the cake, allowing it to absorb.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Whip remaining 1/2 cup heavy cream until soft peaks form and spread evenly over the chilled cake.
- Top with diced mango before serving.
Notes
- Allow the cake to cool fully before adding the milk mixture to ensure proper absorption.
- Chill for at least 4 hours for best texture and flavor.
- Use ripe mangoes for natural sweetness and vibrant color.
