Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ½ cup mango puree (fresh or canned)

  • ½ cup buttermilk (or regular milk)

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)

For the Mango Frosting:

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

  • ¼ cup powdered sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ¼ cup mango puree

  • Fresh mango slices (for garnish)

Instructions

Preparing the Cake:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line with parchment paper.

  2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

  3. Cream the butter and sugar: In a large bowl, beat softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. Add the eggs and vanilla: Beat in eggs one at a time, incorporating fully before adding the next. Stir in vanilla extract.

  5. Add mango puree and buttermilk: Mix in mango puree, buttermilk, and lemon juice (if using) until just combined.

  6. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

  7. Bake: Pour the batter into prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Preparing the Mango Frosting:

  1. Whip the cream: In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form.

  2. Add powdered sugar and vanilla: Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.

  3. Add mango puree: Gently fold in mango puree until fully combined.

Assembling the Cake:

  1. Frost the cake: Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of mango frosting on top.

  2. Stack the second layer: Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides with the remaining frosting.

  3. Garnish: Decorate with fresh mango slices or chunks for a beautiful and refreshing touch.

Notes

Make sure the cake layers are completely cooled before frosting to avoid melting the frosting.If you want extra tropical flavor, consider adding shredded coconut to the cake batter or garnish with toasted coconut.For an extra zing, add lime zest to the frosting or batter.
