Mango Coconut Cake

Ingredients:

For the cake:

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 cup mango puree (fresh or canned)
• ½ cup coconut milk
• ⅓ cup vegetable oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the mango-coconut frosting:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3 cups powdered sugar
• ¼ cup mango puree
• 2 tbsp coconut milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the filling and topping:

• 1 ripe mango, diced
• ½ cup shredded coconut, toasted

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. In a separate bowl, combine the mango puree, coconut milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until the batter is smooth and well incorporated.

5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.

6. Bake the cakes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

8. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the mango-coconut frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth and creamy.

9. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mango puree, coconut milk, and vanilla extract. Beat until the frosting is fluffy and well combined.

10. Once the cakes are completely cooled, level the tops if necessary. Place one cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand.

11. Spread a layer of mango-coconut frosting over the first cake layer. Sprinkle some diced mango and toasted shredded coconut on top.

12. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining mango-coconut frosting.

13. Garnish the cake with additional diced mango and toasted shredded coconut for an extra tropical touch.

This Mango Coconut Cake is a delightful tropical treat, perfect for any special occasion or just to enjoy as a delicious dessert. Enjoy!
