Ingredients

  • 5 Large eggs separated, room temperature
  • 1 cup White granulated sugar divided
  • 1 ½ teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup Whole milk room temperature
  • 1 cup All purpose flour spooned and leveled
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt

Soaking Liquid

  • 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
  • 12 oz Evaporated milk
  • ½ cup Heavy whipping cream

Mango Whipped Cream

  • 1 cup Heavy whipping cream cold
  • ¼ cup Powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • ½ cup Mango puree about 1 large mango, plus more for drizzling on top (optional)

Garnish

  • Fresh mango peeled and cut into small chunks

Instructions

  1. Vanilla Sponge Cake – Preheat your oven to 350℉. Then, grease only the bottom portion of a 9×13 inch baking dish with non-sticking spray. Try to avoid spraying the sides. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder. Set aside. Place the egg yolks, ¾ cup sugar and vanilla extract into a large mixing bowl. Then, using an electric hand mixer, beat the mixture until it is thick and turns pale yellow. Next, stir in the milk. Gently fold the flour mixture into the egg yolk mixture until combined. In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites on high speed until soft peaks form. Then, gradually add the remaining ¼ cup of sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in half the beaten egg whites into the batter, then fold in the remaining egg whites just until combined. Do not over mix, or else this will deflate the egg whites. Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool as you prepare the soaking mixture.
  2. Soaking and Assembly – In a liquid measuring cup, whisk together the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and heavy cream. Once the cake is cool, poke holes all over the top with a fork. Then, slowly pour the tres leches mixture over the entire cake. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. In a large bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks. Then, gently fold in the mango pulp. Remove the cake from the refrigerator. Then, use an offset spatula to spread the mango whipped cream over the cake. Top the mango whipped cream with chunks of fresh mango. Drizzle with additional mango puree. Slice and enjoy!
