We've partnered with
the National Mango Board
to create this stunning,
fresh, mango layer cake
that's both beautiful and delicious.
Start by slicing your cake layers in half.
This is my four-ingredient,
easy sponge cake,
and I'll link to the recipe below.
Spread half a cup of mango
puree over the first cake layer,
and this is just sweet, ripe mangoes
that I've pureed in my blender.
The frosting I'm using is so simple,
and it's also just four ingredients
whirled together in the mixer.
Transfer one cup of
frosting into a piping bag
fitted with a large
star-tip and refrigerate.
You'll use this to decorate
the top of the cake later.
Spread half a cup of frosting
onto the second layer.
Now place it frosting-side
down onto the first layer
so the cream and mango
are essentially hugging.
Repeat this process with
the next two layers.
I love using mango in cakes
because it adds beautiful color
and an amazing pop of fresh mango flavor.
With a paper towel, quickly
wipe away any extra mango puree.
Now cover the top and sides generously
with the rest of your frosting.

It's time to make this beautiful.
Using the reserved frosting,
pipe a pretty pattern
around the edge of the cake.

Peel and thinly slice
two ripe, sweet mangoes.
I slice the long way and the wide way.
Layer the mango slices, starting
with your longest pieces
going in rings around the cake,
overlapping each piece slightly.

To finish it off, roll up a long,
thinly sliced piece of mango
and place it in the center.
And that's all there is to it.
This is one show-stopping cake.
Make it and you'll get
plenty of compliments.
