Step-by-Step Instructions for Mango Tres Leches
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat egg yolks, 3/4 cup of sugar, and vanilla extract until pale and thick, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in whole milk and fold in dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, whip egg whites until soft peaks form, add remaining 1/4 cup sugar, and whip until stiff peaks develop.
- Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter in two or three additions.
- Pour the batter into the baking dish and bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and heavy cream until smooth.
- Poke holes all over the cooled cake and pour the milk mixture evenly over it. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Fold in mango puree.
- Spread the mango whipped cream over the chilled cake and garnish with fresh mango chunks.

Notes
Allowing the cake to soak overnight enhances its flavor and moisture.
