  • Total Time: 4 hours 45 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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
  • 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
  • 12 oz Evaporated milk
  • ½ cup Heavy whipping 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))
  • Fresh mango (peeled and cut into small chunks)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350℉. Grease only the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
  2. Whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder in a bowl. Set aside.
  3. Beat egg yolks, ¾ cup sugar, and vanilla extract until thick and pale yellow. Stir in milk.
  4. Fold the flour mixture into the egg yolk mixture until combined.
  5. Beat egg whites until soft peaks form, then gradually add remaining ¼ cup sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
  6. Fold in half the egg whites into the batter, then the remaining egg whites until just combined.
  7. Pour batter into the baking dish and bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool.
  8. Whisk together evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and heavy cream.
  9. Poke holes in the cooled cake and slowly pour the tres leches mixture over it. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  10. Beat heavy whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in mango pulp.
  11. Spread mango whipped cream over the cake. Top with fresh mango chunks and drizzle with additional mango puree.
  12. Slice and serve.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for best results.
  • Do not overmix the egg whites to keep the cake fluffy.
  • Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours to allow it to soak properly.
  • Adjust mango puree quantity based on preference.
