I recently decided to make this for my birthday. I was impressed with the taste of the mango with just a hint of passion fruit but never having made the cake before I could only go from my memory and guess how it was made.
I started with a regular sponge cake to begin with and then made a cream cheese/plain yogurt filling with a little bit of vanilla to spread on top of that.
I then proceeded with making the mango mousse not really knowing if it would work since I had never made it before but to add some freshness I decided to make a mango jelly on the top with pureed mango, lemon juice, orange juice and orange liqueur. It actually turned up pretty good to my surprise since all I had to go on was gut feeling. I decorated with some sliced kiwi fruit and TADA!
At the time being I couldn't get any fresh mango so I had to settle with frozen, hence making the flavor not quite as aromatic as I would've liked. When I give this another try I'll be using fresh mango. Dang, I wish I lived in Taiwan, they have the sweetest, juiciest mangoes there, instead we rely on imported exotic fruits. Ayah, the shortcomings of living in Denmark!
I hope you enjoyed the pictures ^^

An attempt? You could've fooled me! This mango mousse cake is gorgeous and so neatly cut and decorated. Kiwis make such tropical embellishments :) The cake looks so yummy! Sponge cakes are the best! Light, flavorful and absorbing of any flavor.
I hope you had a sweet birthday :)
Beautiful cake!! I'd love to see what you could do with fresh local Oregon ingredients. The strawberries are little bombs of intense flavor right now.
