Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer or whisk
  • Baking pan (9x13 inch)
  • Blender (for mango puree)
  • Spatula
  • Refrigerator

Ingredients
  

Sponge Cake:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 4 eggs
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Mango Milk Syrup:

  • 1 cup mango puree (from ripe mangoes)
  • ½ cup condensed milk
  • ½ cup evaporated milk
  • ½ cup whole milk

Topping:

  • 1 cup heavy cream, whipped with 2 tbsp sugar
  • Fresh mango slices or puree drizzle
  • Optional: mint leaves or edible flowers for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Bake Sponge Cake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Beat eggs and sugar until fluffy, then fold in flour, baking powder, and vanilla. Bake in greased pan for 25–30 minutes until golden.
  • Prepare Syrup: Blend mango puree with condensed, evaporated, and whole milk until smooth.
  • Soak Cake: Pierce cooled sponge with a fork. Pour mango milk syrup evenly over cake, allowing it to absorb.
  • Whip Cream: Beat heavy cream with sugar until soft peaks form. Spread over soaked cake.
  • Garnish: Decorate with fresh mango slices, puree drizzle, or mint leaves.
  • Chill & Serve: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Chill overnight for best flavor absorption.
  • Substitute whipped yogurt for cream for a lighter version.
  • Adjust sweetness by reducing condensed milk or adding extra lemon zest.
  • Not suitable for freezing due to cream and milk syrup.
  • Serve cold for maximum refreshment.
