Ingredients

Scale

Cake Batter

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 cup fresh ripe mango puree
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Milk Soak

  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup plain yogurt or buttermilk
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom

Topping and Garnish

  • 1 cup freshly whipped cream (soft to medium peaks)
  • Fresh mango slices for garnish
  • Optional: toasted pistachios or almonds (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cake Batter: Whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until the mixture is thick and pale. Gently sift and fold in the all-purpose flour along with baking powder to keep the batter light. Next, carefully fold in the fresh mango puree to add vibrant flavor and color to the batter.
  2. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool slightly before proceeding to the next step.
  3. Make the Milk Soak: In a mixing bowl, combine evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, plain yogurt or buttermilk, and ground cardamom. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and blended thoroughly.
  4. Soak the Cake: Using a fork, poke holes evenly all over the warm cake. Slowly pour the milk mixture evenly over the entire surface. Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow full absorption of the milk soak.
  5. Add Whipped Cream and Mango Garnish: Once the cake has fully soaked and chilled, spread freshly whipped cream evenly on top. Garnish decoratively with fresh mango slices and, if desired, a sprinkle of toasted pistachios or almonds for added texture.

Notes

  • Use ripe mangoes for the best natural sweetness and vibrant flavor.
  • Allow the cake to soak for at least 4 hours to ensure it is ultra moist and flavorful.
  • Whip the cream to soft or medium peaks to avoid weighing down the cake.
  • Use room temperature eggs and dairy for a smoother, more consistent batter.
  • The cake tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld beautifully.
