Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray, then dust with flour.
  2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat together softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, then add eggs one at a time.
  4. Stir in vanilla extract, then gradually mix in the dry ingredients and whole milk alternately, starting and ending with dry ingredients.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  7. In a separate bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and heavy cream, whisking until smooth.
  8. Poke holes all over the top of the cooled cake and pour the milk mixture evenly over the cake, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  9. Top with diced ripe mango and whipped cream; garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
