👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Prep the Pans

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.

2️⃣ Make the Mango Cake Batter

In a medium bowl, whisk together:

• Flour

• Baking powder

• Baking soda

• Salt

In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each. Then stir in:

• Mango puree

• Vanilla extract

Gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix just until smooth — don’t overbeat.

3️⃣ Prepare the Cheesecake Layer

In another bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Then stir in:

• Vanilla

• Flour

• Mango puree

4️⃣ Layer and Swirl

Pour the mango cake batter evenly into the prepared pans. Carefully pour the cheesecake mixture on top of each. Use a knife to gently swirl the two batters together for a marbled effect.

5️⃣ Bake

Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and the tops are lightly golden. Let cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

6️⃣ Make the Mango Sauce

In a small saucepan, combine:

• Mango puree

• Sugar

• Lemon juice

Heat over medium, stirring until sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens slightly. Let cool.

7️⃣ Chill and Serve

Once the cake layers are cool, refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight for best results). Drizzle the cooled mango sauce on top before serving.
