Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.
  2. In another bowl, beat eggs and milk, then fold into the dry ingredients. Pour batter into greased pan and bake for 25-30 minutes.
  3. While the cake bakes, mix together condensed milk, evaporated milk, whole milk, and pureed mango in a medium bowl. Whisk until smooth.
  4. After baking, cool the cake for 10 minutes. Poke holes in the cake with a fork then pour the soaking liquid over it. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  5. Just before serving, whip together heavy cream and vanilla in a mixing bowl until soft peaks form. Spread over the chilled cake and top with extra mango slices.
