Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour
  • Sugar
  • Eggs
  • Baking powder
  • Milk
  • Vegetable oil
  • Vanilla extract
  • Salt
  • Mango puree
  • Heavy cream
  • Powdered sugar
  • Gelatin or agar-agar
  • Water
  • Vanilla extract (for mousse)
  • Fresh mango slices (optional)
  • Whipped cream (optional)
  • Mint leaves (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a cake pan.
  2. Whisk eggs and sugar until light and fluffy, then mix in milk, oil, and vanilla extract.
  3. In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt, then fold into the wet mixture.
  4. Pour batter into the pan and bake for 20–25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
  5. Dissolve gelatin in water, let bloom, then gently heat until fully dissolved (or prepare agar-agar as directed).
  6. Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
  7. Fold in mango puree and vanilla extract, then gently mix in the dissolved gelatin.
  8. Place cooled cake in a springform pan and pour mousse over the top, smoothing evenly.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours until set.
  10. Decorate with fresh mango slices, whipped cream, or mint leaves before serving.

Notes

  • Use ripe, sweet mangoes for best flavor.
  • Canned mango puree works if unsweetened.
  • Agar-agar can be used as a vegetarian alternative to gelatin.
  • Add a mango jelly layer on top for extra shine.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Use a sharp knife and wipe between cuts for clean slices.
