Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cake Batter
To begin, preheat the oven to 180°C and grease a cake pan.
Next, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar in a bowl. This helps distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
Once done, add yogurt, milk, oil, vanilla extract, and vinegar. Mix until the batter becomes smooth. As a result, the cake turns soft and fluffy after baking.
Step 2: Bake the Cake
Now, pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Meanwhile, avoid opening the oven too early, as it may affect the texture.
Step 3: Prepare the Milk Soak
After that, combine evaporated milk, condensed milk, fresh cream, and mango puree in a bowl.
Stir gently to create a smooth mixture. Then place it in the refrigerator until needed.
Step 4: Soak and Decorate the Cake
Then, let the baked cake cool completely.
Poke small holes across the cake using a fork. Add the milk mixture slowly so the cake absorbs everything properly. After that, refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Finally, spread mango whipped cream on top and garnish with fresh mango cubes.
