Instructions
**Biscuit sponge cake:**
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (conventional) and line a 9×13″ tray with parchment paper.
- In egg yolks, add ½ cup sugar, salt, and vanilla. Whisk until light and fluffy.
- Whisk in milk, then sift in flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. Whisk to combine (don’t overmix).
- In a separate bowl, whisk egg whites with cream of tartar until glossy peaks form.
- Gently fold a third of the meringue into the egg yolk mixture, then add the remaining meringue.
- Transfer batter to the pan and bake for about ~15 minutes. Let the cake cool.
**Mango lassi:**
- Blend all ingredients until smooth, then strain through a fine sieve mesh. Taste and adjust if needed.
**Mango three milk mixture:**
- Whisk all ingredients until combined. Adjust sweetness and ensure a liquid consistency.
**Soak the cake:**
- Use a skewer to poke holes in the cake. Pour a fourth of the three milk mixture and wait until absorbed.
- Add remaining liquid in 2-3 steps, allowing absorption between each. Refrigerate until fully absorbed.
**Mango lassi whipped cream:**
- Whip heavy cream until thick. Gradually add remaining mango lassi, stopping at firm peaks.
**Assemble:**
- Spread a thick layer of mango lassi whipped cream on the cake. Decorate with more whipped cream and freshly chopped mango.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
