DESCRIPTION

Mango mascarpone cake is a light, airy and super moist cake with a very flavourful vanilla cardamom sponge and a very fluffy and balanced out mascarpone whipped cream frosting. The cake is slathered with a layer of mango puree in between and is topped with fresh mangoes on the top making it a perfectly balanced cake. The recipe is a classic and is super easy to follow.
