Mango Tres Leches / Mango Three Milk Cake

 

Many years ago I posted a Vanilla Tres Leches Cake recipe which was loved by many of my readers. Recently, I tried a mango flavoured version with an eggless sponge. It was a huge hit in our home. This time I assembled the cake in individual serving glasses and by now you all know how I love preparing desserts as individual servings. Assembling in individual glasses is more tedious and time consuming, but you can easily assemble this in the same dish which you used to bake the cake for a more effortless job. Do try this and let me know how you liked it.

(6 servings)

Eggless Sponge Cake:

All-purpose flour - 1⅔ cup (180gm)

  • Tap the dishes gently on the counter, then bake for 25-30 minutes until light golden brown and the tester comes out clean.
  • Remove to rack, demould after 10-15 minutes, then cool completely.

    1. To substitute evaporated milk - Boil regular milk in medium heat and cook until the liquid reduces to 60%. cool down the milk and use.
      Another method is you can use powdered milk mixed with water.
