Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 5 large egg yolks with 3/4 cup of white granulated sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Beat until thick and pale yellow.
- Gently add 1/4 cup of room temperature milk and mix until fully incorporated.
- Gently fold the dry mixture into the egg yolk mixture using a spatula.
- In a clean bowl, whip the 5 egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
- Carefully fold half of the beaten egg whites into the batter, then add the remaining egg whites.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- In a measuring cup, whisk together the soaking ingredients and set aside.
- Once the cake is cooled, poke holes in the surface and pour the soaking milk mixture over it. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Beat 1 cup of cold heavy whipping cream with 1/4 cup of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in 1/2 cup of mango puree.
- Spread the mango whipped cream over the chilled cake and garnish with fresh mango chunks.

Notes
Allow the cake to soak for at least 4 hours, but overnight is best for maximum flavor absorption.
