For the cake

Pre heat oven to 350

Brush two 6” cake pans or one 8” cake pan with oil on the bottom and the circumference too, then dust it with flour to coat the pan.

Cut and line the pans with a parchment round at the bottom.

In a bowl sift all dry ingredients.

In another bowl place all liquid ingredients and sugar, then whip until the sugar is almost melted .

Pour the liquid ingredients over dry ingredients and whip until lump free.

Bake for 28 to 32 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let the cake cool in the pans for 10 minutes.

Now run a butter knife around the circumference of the cake to release it.

Now invert the cakes on the cooling rack to cool completely.

Loosely cover the cakes with a kitchen towel to prevent drying out.

For the mango pudding

While the cake is baking, whisk pudding ingredients together into a smooth paste.

Add more sugar if the mixture isn't sweet.

Cook the mixture on low heat, stirring continuously scrapping the sides and bottom to avoid sticking.

The pudding is done when the mixture starts to thicken up and coats the back of a spoon.

Making mango pudding should take 10 minutes start to finish.

It will thicken more after cooling down.

For Frosting

Beat cream cheese and sugar for 1 minute until well blended.

Whip heavy whipping cream, vanilla until soft peaks are formed, about 10 to 12 minutes be patient.

Add 1/2 cup of cream and fold it with prepared cream cheese sugar mixture.

Now add this mixture in the bowl of remaining whipped cream and whip until stiff peaks form.

This takes less than 30 seconds.

Refrigerate 2 hours before decorating cakes or cupcakes.

To a Assemble the cake

Slice the top of the cakes to level if there is a dome .

Cut the cakes into half.

Now spread some mango pudding over the first layer topping it with a layer of frosting.

Repeat for all the layers while stacking them.

Frost on the top and the sides as desired.

Peel and cut a mango into half and cut into thin slices .

Arrange the slices in a circle starting at the center to form a rose.

Fill the icing bag with dual color frosting and pipe swirls if desired.

Refrigerate the cake at least 2 hours before serving.
