Recipe in the comments 🙂
I'm a newbie Pastry Bakery, trying my best to practice skills at home.
Mangoes are in season here in India, and baking a fresh cream mango cake (as is really popular here in season) was on my list since AGES!!!
But being someone who struggles with frosting skills, I never really tried it.
Although earlier this week, a friend and I did a virtual Bake Date, where both of us baked and decorated this cake on the same day (recording snippets and doing a few video calls, and constantly texting). SO MUCH FUN!!!
I didn't have anything particular in mind, just went with the flow and tried out ruffles and curtain drapes because the piping tip looked great, lowkey happy with how it came out!
Although I'm aware there's a lot of room for improvement (especially with the cake levelling), and I'm planning to practice as much as possible.
The cake is basically 2 layers of vanilla sponge frosted with whipped mango cream, mango chunks between the layers and on top and some mango puree!

I used the above vanilla cake recipe for the sponge, divided it in half as my tin was 5 cm.
For the filling and frosting – I whipped cream and added 2-3 tbsp of mango puree. In the layers I added same mango chunks and dollops of puree.
I also brushed some milk instead of sugar syrup to soak the sponge.
On top, some fresh cut mango chunks. 🙂
Feel free ask for more details if necessary.
This looks so, so tasty.
That looks so good! I’m dairy free but I’d still eat that 😂
That looks amazing. Perfectly ripe mango might be the best fruit out there
Omg I loveeee mangoes! Never have had them in a cake like this. Looks so good and it came out very pretty!
That looks delicious.
This looks so good I want to reach into my screen and eat all of it!
