Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup of sugar
- 2/3 cup melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2.25 cups whole milk
- 1.5 tbsp. confectionery flour (low gluten flour)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 350 ml of concentrated milk without sugar
- 400 ml of condensed milk with sugar
- 1 tbsp rum
- 2 large ripe mangoes
- 3 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream 33%

Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a 20cm square baking pan with vegetable oil and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- Make a sponge cakeBeat the eggs and sugar in a large bowl with a mixer until lightly pale and thickened (about 6 minutes). Slowly add the melted butter, vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup whole milk, one at a time, while continuing to beat.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Sift the mixture into the beaten egg mixture, then gently fold with a rubber spatula until a thick batter forms. Transfer it to the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (about 30 minutes). Run a knife around the edge of the cake to release it from the pan.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the remaining 2 cups of whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and rum in a bowl. Prick the warm sponge cake all over with a fork, then gradually and evenly pour the milk mixture over the top, allowing it to be completely absorbed. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.

Stir in the reserved mango cubes. In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar until soft peaks form. Cut the cake. Top each slice with whipped cream and sprinkle with cinnamon. Serve with the mango topping on a plate.
