Mango cake with cream cheese frosting

Mango cake with cream cheese frosting

This is seriously delicious,especially if you love mangoes!!and i dont like whipped cream frosting even though its lighter , so I made the cream cheese frosting and the flavour combination is ahmaaazingg...

Make sure the mangoes are ripe even a little over ripe is good

For the top if you are decorating then a bit of ripe but firm mango is good but for the inside mushier the better😊

It is a very easy recipe with few ingredients,definitely a must try!

For cake:

• 6 eggs at room temperature

• 1/2-3/4 cup sugar, u can easily use 1 cup , i dont like too sweet cakes

• 1cup all purpose flour

• 1/2tsp baking powder

For filling:

• half cup mango puree (just blend 2mangoes or use canned version)

• 2mangoes thinly sliced shape doesnt matter u wont see it

Frosting

• 300 gram cream cheese /a little more than half of the 500gm container , make sure is at room temperature

• 3/4 cup butter at room temperature

• 1/2-3/4 cup icing sugar again go with upto 1-11/2 cup depending on your taste!

• Vanilla 1tsp

Process:

• Add eggs to your mixer, u need a mixer unless you are ok with your hands numb by the end 😊

• Mix them till all blended

• Add sugar to it gradually and beat for 8-10 minor longer at high speed

• This needs to almost quadruple in volume and has to be thick , not runny at all otherwise cake wont be airy

• add flour and baking powder in small batches till all mixed

• Bake at 360 in three 6 inch or two 8 inch pans lined with parchment paper and sides greased for 25-28 minutes

• Do the tooth pick test to check if fone

• Once done remove cakes and let cool completely before icing

• For frosting whip everything at medium speed till fluffy ,took about 5 minutes for me

• For assembly, put cake on stand or turntable add 2-3 tbsp of mango puree then sliced mangoes over it

• On other cake layer add cream cheese frosting and put that side over the mango(facing each other)

• Repeat layers and frost the outside of the cake anyway u like

• I did linear lines with offset spatula yesterday and added some mango puree for colour in few spots and topped with some piped frosting and puree, today i smoothed and put a pattern on the sides and topped with fresh sliced mangoes and thyme!
