Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups coconut milk (from a carton, room temp)
  • 1/2 cup neutral oil (sunflower/canola)
  • 1 cup superfine sugar (or coconut sugar)
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp fine salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 lime (or lemon)
  • 1 1/2 cups ripe mango, finely diced (fresh or thawed frozen)
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup (for brushing cakes)
  • 2 cans full-fat coconut milk, chilled overnight (solids only)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened desiccated coconut (for sides)

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 175°C/350°F. Line two 8-inch cake pans with parchment; lightly oil.
  2. Whisk coconut milk, oil, sugar, vanilla, and lime zest. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt. Fold dry into wet just until smooth.
  3. Divide batter between pans. Bake for 22–26 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes; turn out to racks.
  4. Toss mango with lime juice; set aside. Warm maple syrup slightly. Brush warm cakes with maple syrup to keep extra moist. Cool completely.
  5. Scoop firm coconut cream from cans (leave liquid). Beat with powdered sugar, vanilla, and pinch of salt to medium-stiff peaks. Chill for 10 minutes if soft.
  6. Place the first layer, spread a thin frosting veil, add half the mango (drained). Top with the second layer; frost top and sides. Press desiccated coconut onto sides; crown with remaining mango.
  7. Chill for 30–45 minutes for clean cuts.

Notes

  • Add 1/2 tsp ground cardamom to the batter for extra tropical flavor.
  • If your mango is very juicy, blot before layering.
  • For a gluten-free option, use a 1:1 GF flour blend and add 1 tbsp plant yogurt for tenderness.
