Instructions
- Biscuit sponge cake: Pre-heat oven to 350F (conventional) and line a 9×13″ tray with parchment paper. Into the egg yolks, add ½ cup sugar, salt, and vanilla, and whisk until light and fluffy. Whisk in the milk, sift in the flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. Whisk to combine. Whisk egg whites with cream of tartar and remaining ¼ cup sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold meringue into yolk mixture. Bake for ~15 minutes.
- Mango lassi: Blend all ingredients until smooth, then strain. Adjust sweetness if needed.
- Mango three milk mixture: Whisk all ingredients until combined. Adjust sweetness and consistency with milk if necessary.
- Soak the cake: Poke holes in cake, pour over three milk mixture, refrigerate until absorbed.
- Mango lassi whipped cream: Whip cream until thick, gradually add mango lassi until firm peaks form.
- Assemble: Spread mango lassi whipped cream on cake, decorate with more cream and mango.
Notes
- Ensure the cake is completely cooled before soaking with the milk mixture.
