Best Fresh Mango Layer Cake Recipe

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.
