Ingredients
For the Sponge Cake:
8 large eggs
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
For the Mango Puree:
3 medium mangos (peeled and chopped)
For the Frosting:
8 oz cream cheese (softened)
1 cup white chocolate chips (melted)
2 cups heavy cream (chilled)
1 cup confectioner’s sugar
Instructions
Preheat the Oven & Prepare the Pans:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C).
Line two or three 8-inch cake pans with parchment paper.
Prepare the Sponge Cake:
In a stand mixer, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes fluffy and light.
Sift the flour and baking powder together and gently fold them into the egg mixture.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
Bake the Cake Layers:
Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the cakes are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cakes cool on wire racks.
Make the Mango Puree:
Blend the chopped mangoes until smooth to create the mango puree. Set aside.
Prepare the Frosting:
In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and melted white chocolate until smooth.
Add the remaining mango puree and mix until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream with confectioner’s sugar until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the mango-cream cheese mixture until smooth and well combined.
Assemble the Cake:
Once the cakes are fully cooled, spread a layer of mango puree and frosting between each cake layer.
Use the remaining frosting to cover the top and sides of the cake.
Serve:
Garnish with fresh mango slices or additional whipped cream, if desired. Serve the cake chilled for the best flavor.
Notes
Cake Tip: Make sure to let the cake layers cool completely before assembling to prevent the frosting from melting.
Flavor Tip: For an extra tropical touch, top with fresh mango slices or a few mint leaves.
Storage: The cake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It’s best enjoyed within 1-2 days for optimal freshness.
