Instructions

Mango Chiffon Cake

  1. In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar #1, baking powder, and salt.

    In another bowl, combine vegetable oil, egg yolks, water, and vanilla. Whisk into the dry ingredients. Whisk to combine.

    In an electric mixer with the whisk attachment, or with a hand mixer, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar.

    Add the sugar slowly to make a meringue.

    Beat whites until medium peak, and fold into the above mixture into three additions.

    Pour batter into a 3 inch tall 8" parchment lined cake pan.

    Bake in a preheated 305-degree Fahrenheit oven.

    Bake for 30-40 minutes or until done.

    Check when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

    Allow to cool to room temperature.

Mango Mousse

  1. In a saucepan on medium heat, bring mango puree and lime juice to a full boil while stirring.

    Allow to simmer for 2-3 minutes.

    Remove from heat.

    Add bloomed gelatin, stir to melt and combine.

    In the meantime, make a Swiss meringue with the sugar and egg whites.

    Make sure your whites are room temperature.

    Place a heat safe bowl over simmering water, combine sugar and egg whites.

    Constantly whisk the mixture until the grains of sugar are dissolved.

    Switch mixture to a mixer with the whisk attachment.

    Whisk until a medium peak is formed.

    In another bowl, whip cream to soft peak.

    Fold mango mix into meringue.

    Then fold in cold cream last.
