Description
A light and airy cake flavored with yuzu and layered with fresh mango and chantilly cream.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 eggs Eggs (Separate egg whites from yolks for optimal volume.)
- 40 g Granulated Sugar (Coconut sugar can be used for added depth.)
- 20 ml Vegetable Oil (Melted unsalted butter can enhance richness.)
- 20 ml Whole Milk (Almond milk can be used for a dairy-free option.)
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract (Almond extract can be used for a unique twist.)
- 1 tbsp Yuzu Powder (Yuzu juice or lemon juice can be used as an alternative.)
- 40 g Cake Flour (All-purpose flour can be used but changes the texture.)
- ⅛ tsp Cream of Tartar (Lemon juice can substitute.)
- 150 ml Heavy Cream (A chilled bowl helps with better whipping.)
- 1 tbsp Powdered Sugar (Agave syrup offers a less processed choice.)
- 1–2 large Fresh Mango (Other tropical fruits can be substituted.)
Instructions
- Prepare Cake Batter: Whisk together egg yolks and granulated sugar until pale and creamy. Mix in vegetable oil, whole milk, vanilla extract, and yuzu powder until smooth.
- Whip Egg Whites: Beat egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
- Combine Mixtures: Gently fold whipped egg whites into the batter, maintaining airiness.
- Bake Cake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C), pour batter into greased pan, and bake for about 12 minutes.
- Cool & Cut: Let the cake cool, then cut rounds using a cookie cutter.
- Layer Cake: Alternate layers of cake, chantilly cream, and fresh mango.
- Frost: Generously frost the assembled cake with chantilly cream and decorate with mango slices.
- Chill: Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use melted unsalted butter instead of vegetable oil.
- Ensure the heavy cream is well-chilled for better whipping results.
- You can use other tropical fruits like pineapple or kiwi as substitutes for fresh mango.
