Tips:
- Using fresh oranges and mangoes will give your cake the best flavor. If you don't have fresh fruit, you can use frozen or canned fruit, but the flavor won't be as good.
- Be sure to zest the oranges before you juice them. The zest adds a lot of flavor to the cake.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick comes out with batter on it, the cake needs to bake longer.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
- If you don't have any spiced rum, you can use regular rum or even bourbon. Just be aware that the flavor of the cake will be different.
Conclusion:
This Orange Mango Spiced Rum Cake is a delicious and easy-to-make cake that is perfect for any occasion. The moist cake is packed with flavor from the oranges, mangoes, and spiced rum. The frosting is light and fluffy, and it perfectly complements the cake. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
