MANGO COCONUT CAKE
Steps:
- Preheat oven 350 degrees Bake cake following the package directions using a 10x15x3 pan (the original recipe calls for a 9x13x2 pan, but I used a larger size) bake 30 to 35 min. While the cake is baking, combine the mango chunks with 1/2 cup of sugar in a saucepan, bring to a boil over medium heat and stir to break up the chunks. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Once the cake is baked remove from oven and using a fork pierce holes into the cake. Pour the mango sauce over the hot cake and set aside. Cook the pudding according to the directions, cool slightly and pour over the mango sauce and refrigerate cake until well chilled. Whip the cream with 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and almond extract until stiff. Cover the cake with the whipped cream and sprinkle toasted coconut and sliced almonds on top. *Toasted Coconut: Preheat oven 300 degrees Spread coconut on a baking sheet Bake for 15-20 min. stirring every 5 min.
Tips:
- Mise en place: Before starting, measure and prepare all ingredients, and preheat the oven to the specified temperature.
- Use ripe mangoes: The sweetness and flavor of ripe mangoes will enhance the overall taste of the cake.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a dense, tough cake. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Overbaking can dry out the cake, so keep an eye on it during baking.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from melting.
