Cake Layers Baking Time

  • 8-inch Round Cake Pans:
    Bake for 25-30 minutes at 350°F (175°C). The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • 9-inch Round Cake Pans:
    Bake for 20-25 minutes at 350°F (175°C), checking for doneness with a toothpick after 20 minutes.

If you are baking larger or thicker layers, keep in mind that the baking time may increase by a few minutes. Always rely on the toothpick test to ensure the cake is baked through without being overcooked.

How to Store Leftovers

This cake can easily be made ahead or stored for later, maintaining its delicious flavors and freshness for several days. Follow these tips to store your Mango Bliss Cake properly:

  • Refrigerator:
    The Mango Bliss Cake can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The frosting and mango glaze will stay fresh, and the cake layers will remain moist.
  • Freezer:
    To freeze, tightly wrap individual slices of the cake in plastic wrap and store them in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag. The cake can be frozen for up to 3 months. When ready to serve, thaw overnight in the refrigerator, and enjoy.

Cooking Tips for Mango Bliss Cake

Here are a few additional tips to make sure your Mango Bliss Cake turns out perfect every time:

  • Allow the Cake to Cool Completely
    Before assembling and frosting, make sure the cake layers have cooled entirely. If the cake is still warm, the frosting and mango glaze may melt, ruining the texture and appearance.
  • Rest the Cake Before Serving
    Once the cake is frosted and glazed, allow it to sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to help the flavors meld together and allow the glaze to fully set.
  • Use a Sharp Knife for Cutting
    When serving the Mango Bliss Cake, use a sharp knife dipped in hot water to slice through the cake cleanly. This will ensure you get perfect slices without smudging the layers or glaze.

By following these tips and baking times, your Mango Bliss Cake will turn out soft, moist, and full of tropical flavor, making it a stunning dessert for any occasion!

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake:

  • 2 ½ cups cake flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk

For the Mango Filling:

  • 2 cups ripe mango puree (from fresh mangoes)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

For the Frosting:

  • 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Mango Glaze:

  • 1 cup mango puree
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp gelatin powder
  • ¼ cup warm water

For Garnishing:

  • Mango balls (from 1 fresh mango)
  • Chocolate pearls
  • Fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cake:
    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans. Sift together the cake flour and baking powder in a bowl. In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla. Gradually mix in the flour mixture, alternating with milk, until well combined. Divide the batter evenly between the pans and bake for 25-30 minutes. Allow to cool completely on wire racks.
  2. Make the Mango Filling:
    In a blender, puree fresh mangoes until smooth. In a saucepan, cook the mango puree with lemon juice and sugar over medium heat until thickened, about 10 minutes. Let the filling cool before using.
  3. Prepare the Frosting:
    Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fluffy.
  4. Assemble the Cake:
    Place the first cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of mango filling over it, followed by a layer of frosting. Top with the second cake layer and repeat. Frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting.
  5. Make the Mango Glaze:
    Dissolve the gelatin in warm water and mix it into the mango puree with lemon juice. Pour the glaze over the frosted cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Let the glaze set for about 15 minutes.
  6. Garnish the Cake:
    Decorate the top with mango balls, chocolate pearls, and fresh mint leaves for an elegant finish.
  7. Serve and Enjoy:
    Let the cake chill in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving. Slice and enjoy this tropical delight!
