Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt in a medium bowl.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat 5 separated egg yolks with 3/4 cup of granulated sugar and 1.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract until thick and pale. Stir in 1/4 cup of whole milk.
- Fold the dry ingredient mixture into the egg yolk mixture using a spatula until just blended.
- Whip the 5 egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and continue whipping until peaks are stiff.
- Gently fold half of the whipped egg whites into the batter and then fold in the remaining egg whites until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Once cool, poke holes in the cake and pour the milk mixture evenly over the top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- Whip 1/2 cup of heavy cream with 1/4 cup of powdered sugar and 1.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Fold in 1/2 cup of mango puree.
- Spread the mango whipped cream over the soaked cake and garnish with fresh mango chunks and additional mango puree.
