Lorena Garcia's Fresh
Mango Tres Leches Cake
- Cake:
3/4 cup SPLENDA® Sugar Blend for Baking
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 cup skim milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 large eggs, separated
2 large egg whites
1 cup mango slices
Cream:
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
1 (14 ounce) can condensed milk
1 pint fat free half-and-half
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon SPLENDA® Sugar Blend for Baking
Optional: Garnish with 1 pint reduced fat whipped cream and coconut
shavings
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare a 9-inch spring form cake pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Blend the flour, SPLENDA® Sugar Blend,
and baking soda together in a bowl and set aside.
- Blend the 4 egg yolks and vanilla extract
in a mixing bowl. Mix at medium high speed until eggs are pale
in color.
- Blend the 6 egg whites until soft peak.
- Mix all of the ingredients together.
- Pour mixture into the pan and place in
the oven for 35 to 45 minutes or until the cake tests clean.
Set aside and let cool.
- Make Cream: blend the evaporated milk,
condensed milk, half-and-half, and orange juice in a mixing bowl.
- Place the mango slices at the bottom of
a deep container. Place the cake on top and add the cream mixture
over. Leave the cake submerged for at least 30 minutes until
the liquid is absorbed in the refrigerator. The servings should
have mango slices at the bottom; about half the liquid will remain
in the container.

cream and coconut shavings.
- Serve immediately.
