Step-by-Step Recipe for Mango Mousse Cake:
Step 1: Prepare the Cake Base
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk. Mix until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely.
Step 2: Make the Mango Mousse
- Bloom the gelatine by sprinkling it over 1/4 cup of water. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then heat gently until dissolved.
- In a bowl, mix the mango puree and sugar. Stir in the dissolved gelatine.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks. Fold the whipped cream gently into the mango mixture until fully combined.
- Pour the mousse over the cooled cake base and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Step 3: Prepare the Mango Glaze
- Bloom the gelatine by sprinkling it over 2 tbsp of water. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then heat gently until dissolved.
- Mix the mango puree with the dissolved gelatine and let it cool slightly.
- Pour the glaze over the set mousse layer and spread evenly. Refrigerate for another hour to set the glaze.
