A combination of a tangy cream cheese frosting with sweet, fresh mango, and a soft vanilla cake, to make the perfect cake!

Ingredients you’ll need

• All-purpose flour
• Baking powder
• Salt
• Granulated sugar
• Butter, room temperature
• Eggs, room temperature
• Egg whites, room temperature
• Vanilla paste (or extract)
• Milk
• Ripe mangoes, in small squares
• Cream cheese, room temperature
• Unsalted butter, room temperature
• Vanilla paste (or extract)
• Powdered sugar, measured and then sifted
• Lemon juice

Before you start baking

Make sure that your mangoes are ripe, this makes ALL the difference!

For the cream cheese frosting to pipe well, you will have to be careful to not over beat, or it could become runny. If that happens, refrigerate your frosting until hard enough to pipe

You can substitute the vanilla paste for vanilla extract, but if you can get some vanilla paste, I would highly recommend it! it does make a difference!
