Authentic Mango Tres Leches Cake
Ingredients
1 standard vanilla sponge cake (baked in a 9x13 pan and cooled completely)
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
1 cup fresh, completely smooth mango puree
2 cups heavy whipping cream
2 tbsp powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 large mango, finely diced for topping
Instructions
- Prep the Cake: Using a fork or a wooden skewer, poke holes all over the top of the cooled vanilla sponge cake, ensuring you reach the bottom of the pan.
- Whisk the Soak: In a large pitcher, vigorously whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and the fresh mango puree until the liquids are completely unified.
- Soak and Chill: Slowly pour the mango milk mixture evenly over the entire surface of the cake. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow the cake to fully absorb the liquids.
- Whip and Frost: Before serving, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream in a thick layer over the soaked cake and garnish generously with the diced fresh mango.
