This “drunken” sheet cake is perfect topped with ripe, juicy mangoes. There’s no oil or butter in the lightly spiced cake, but when you drench it with the coconut sauce, it comes to life. It is important to let the cake soak in the sauce for a few hours in the refrigerator to be sure to give it a change to absorb the sauce. The result is a comforting moist and tasty cake. This is a great cake for entertaining because it can be made 1 day ahead.
