Mango Tres Leches Cake Sandwiches

Moist mango cake soaked in three types of milk, layered with whipped cream and toasted coconut flakes.

The Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 cups diced fresh mango
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup condensed milk
  • Whipped cream and toasted coconut flakes for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat Oven and Prepare Batter

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add softened butter and mix until crumbly. Beat in eggs until well combined.

Step 2: Fold in Mango and Pour into Pans

Gently fold in diced mango into the batter. Divide the mixture evenly among four 8-inch round cake pans.

Step 3: Bake Cakes and Prepare Tres Leches Mixture

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. In a separate bowl, whisk together evaporated milk, heavy cream, and condensed milk to create the tres leches mixture.

Step 4: Assemble Sandwiches

Once cakes are completely cooled, use a serrated knife to level each cake. Place one cake on a flat surface, followed by a generous pour of the tres leches mixture. Repeat this process three times, ending with a layer of whipped cream and toasted coconut flakes.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Garnish with additional toasted coconut flakes if desired.
