Attention mango lovers!!!!
You will love this mango twist on the Mexican Tres Leches cake, and folks who are not mango lovers will become one after trying this.
For a long time, I've wanted to bake a tres leches cake(I am a big fan of this cake and always make it at home) but not the regular kind- I wanted to make something exotic, with a bit of an Indian twist.
On that note, I decided to bake a tres leches cake with mango flavor. The cake turned out so soft that it felt like I was eating a slice of a cloud. The mango flavor was oozing out of it and looked amazing.
What is a Tres Leches Cake?
It is a delicious, rich, milk-soaked cake with three types: evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy whipping cream.
Indian twist With Mango Flavour
I used mango puree instead of evaporated milk, making the flavor more Indian. After all, what is more Indian than our king of fruits, the mango?
