Ingredients

Cake:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

- ½ teaspoon baking soda

- ½ teaspoon salt

- ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)

- 1 cup granulated sugar

- 3 large eggs

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- 1 cup buttermilk

- 1 cup pureed fresh mango (about 2 ripe mangoes)

Frosting:

- 1 cup heavy whipping cream

- ½ cup powdered sugar

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- Fresh mango slices for decoration

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

Step 2: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 4: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract and mango puree. Mix until well combined.

Step 5: Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Stir gently until just blended.

Step 6: Pour the batter evenly into the greased cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 7: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Step 8: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.

Step 9: Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of frosting on top, then add the second cake layer. Frost the top and sides of the cake.

Step 10: Garnish with fresh mango slices on top for a beautiful finish.
