Instructions
To make the cake:
- Preheat the oven 180℃, line a quarter sheet pan with baking spray and set aside.
- We start by adding the oil, sugar, vanilla, mango puree, milk in a mixing bowl. Whisk/mix together until combined.
- Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and fold together. Pour into the prepared tin and top with mango chunks.
- Bake for 18-20 mins until risen and tooth pick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool down completely before frosting.
To make the frosting:
- Beat the room temperature butter until pale and fluffy for around 2 minutes. Add the icing sugar, vanilla and mango puree, beat we’ll until combined. Around 3-5 minutes.
- Divide the frosting into 3 parts, white being the largest quantity. Color one portion with yellow and orange food gel coloring and the other portion with a leaf green food gel color.
- Transfer the yellow and green frosting into separate piping bags and set aside.
Time to assemble the cake:
- Spread the white frosting evenly over the cooled cake and using a spatula smooth it out.
- Pipe tiny mangoes all over the cake using the yellow frosting, pipe tiny leaves on top of the mangoes and using tooth pick smooth it out as needed. T
- ake time with this and don’t rush it, its meant to be therapeutic and relaxing. In saying this you can omit it completely and serve the cake without the piped mangoes.
- Slice and serve as needed.
Notes
- Do not over mix the cake batter or else it will become dense once baked.
- If the frosting it too runny, add more icing sugar and let it firm up a bit in the fridge as it is summer and the heat affects butter easily.
