Ingredients

6 eggs, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 can sweetened condensed milk
2 cups whole milk, scalded
12 ounces mango puree
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 mango, diced
Dark rum
Brown sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Whip the eggs, sugar, and salt until tripled in volume. Fold in the flour. Pour the mixture into a parchment lined 9 by 11-inch baking pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Remove the parchment paper and return the cake to the pan. With a fork, poke holes all over the top of the cake. Combine the condensed milk with the scalded milk, mango puree, almond and vanilla extracts, and pour over the cake. Allow the cake to soak in the liquid for 2 hours. Serve with diced mango marinated in dark rum and brown sugar.

A real winner!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I used canned mango that I dranined and pureed to mix with the milks( whole & sweet/condensed) I used fresh mango for the rum... sauce I added rasberries for color and let them marinate in the rum/sugar for a few hours. The real key for this recipe for me was to have the eggs at room temperature and even though I used a hand mixer getting the volume out of the eggs it took a while but well worth the wait it came out fantastic and my dinner guest were very pleased.Read more

Fun & different dessert
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a great cake, unlike any I've had before. I pureed fresh mango instead of canned (one way to control sweetness). If... you like mango, you'll like this dessert!Read more

Terrible recipe

Making this dessert was not only a waste of time but it was also a waste of ingredients.

Great flavor
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I didn't use the written cake recipe. I used the cake recipe from Emeril's Tres Leches cake. I had made the Tres Leches a... few times, so I knew the cake worked well. I was uncertain of this cake recipe because it had the same number of eggs, but half the flour and sugar of the Tres Leches cake recipe. The mango/milk mixture was absolutely delicious, however it did not soak all the way through the cake. Perhaps I should have had faith in the cake recipe as written. Never the less, the cake was still very good and everyone enjoyed it. I marinaded the diced mango in coconut rum which was very good.Read more
