Ingredients
- For the Mango Cake Layers:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup mango purée
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- For the Cheesecake Layer:
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- For the Passionfruit Mango Topping:
- 1 cup mango purée
- ½ cup passionfruit pulp (with or without seeds)
- 2 tbsp sugar (optional)
- 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water
Instructions
- Make the Cheesecake Layer: Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line an 8-inch round pan with parchment and grease well. Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla. Pour into pan and bake 30–35 minutes until set but slightly jiggly. Cool completely and refrigerate.
- Prepare the Mango Cake: Increase oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Mix flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs, vanilla, mango purée, and milk. Fold in dry ingredients. Divide into two greased 8-inch pans. Bake 18–22 minutes. Cool.
- Make the Passionfruit Mango Topping: In a saucepan, heat mango purée, passionfruit, and sugar. Stir in cornstarch slurry and simmer 1–2 minutes until slightly thickened. Cool completely.
- Assemble the Cake: Place one mango cake layer on a plate. Add chilled cheesecake layer on top. Place second mango cake layer over it. Spread topping over the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
- Serve: Refrigerate at least 1 hour before slicing. Enjoy a rich, tropical cheesecake cake!
Notes
- Use ripe mangoes or high-quality purée for the best flavor.
- The cheesecake layer must be fully chilled before assembling.
- You may strain passionfruit if you prefer a seed-free topping.
