This Mango Cake is a must try. The cake is very moist, the frosting is fluffy and not too sweet and I must say that there is no butter involve.

Notes

In the picture, you see only 3 layers. The batter that we make will make 4 layers when divided . You can use all of it, and have a four layer cake or, you can just eat the left over cake I freeze mine because I am planning to make something out of it. I wrap the cake with cling wrap and re wrap it with tin foil.
When you do, just make sure that you have enough whipping cream to frost the cake.
