Mango Mousse Cake Recipe


If you’re looking for a summery tropical treat, you simply must give this a try. First up, the layers of tropical and exotic sweet mousse. It’s basically mangoes, cream and sugar. Only use sugar if you want to sweeten the mousse. I usually don’t add sugar unless the mangoes are a little too tart. The mousse is simple but utterly delicious. You could eat it all by itself no problem.

While you can use fresh mangoes if you have access to them, frozen mangoes works just as well and are available all year round. I can’t tell you how many times this mango cake has been requested in the middle of winter with not a fresh mango to be seen. Seasonal produce people!



The cake itself is light (as you would expect from a sponge cake). The basic vanilla sponge is perfect for allowing the tropical mousse to shine. The cakey texture against the velvety mousse is heaven. There’s as much mousse as sponge and the balance is just perfect.

For such an impressive looking, and tasting cake, this is pretty easy to make. The trick to a layering your cake like the photo (and I really recommend that you do try the layered version as it gives you that perfect sponge cake to mousse ratio), you need to chill each layer of mousse to firm it up before you add the next layer of cake. Otherwise you will squish the mousse and won’t end up with the spectacular defined layers as pictured here. It will still be delicious – just a bit more squishy.



If you’re a mango fan like I am, decorate the top with extra slices of fruit. No such thing as too much mango in my world. This wonderful recipe was first posted by a site called Dodgy Dumpling which is, sadly, no longer online. We’ve reproduced the recipe for you below.


Thanks very much to reader Sandra who helped me out with this one! You’re a star Sandra!
