For the Cake
- 2 cups cake flour offers a delicate, tender crumb for that light chiffon texture.
- 1 cup granulated sugar enhances sweetness and helps create a lovely rise.
- 1 tbsp baking powder ensures your cake is light and fluffy by providing lift.
- 1/2 tsp salt brings out the sweetness and enhances the flavors of the cake.
- 5 large eggs using room temperature eggs helps to create an airy batter.
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk adds a rich, creamy texture and a touch of tropical flavor.
- 1 cup mango puree infuses the cake with a vibrant, fruity taste that complements the coconut perfectly.
For the Topping
- 1 cup toasted coconut flakes provide a crunchy texture and delicious toasty flavor.
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two round cake pans.
Whisk together the dry ingredients: cake flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
Beat the eggs in another bowl until frothy. Then, add full-fat coconut milk and mango puree, mixing until blended.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients, gently whisking to create a smooth batter.
Divide the batter equally between the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
Optional: Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint for a pop of color.
