directions

For the Mango Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
  2. In a large bowl whisk together all of your dry cake ingredients. Flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, mango powder.
  3. Add wet ingredients and mix well: mango purée, coconut oil, coconut milk + vinegar, vanilla.
  4. Generously oil your cake pans, separate your batter evenly into cake pans.
  5. Bake for 25-35 minutes (or until cakes are golden and a toothpick comes out clean).
  6. Once cakes have cooled for 20-30 minutes, remove from pans and allow to cool completely before frosting. (I have the best luck when I allow them to cool completely, wrap up and freeze for 20 min before frosting).

For the Hibiscus Frosting

  1. Assemble frosting by combining all ingredients! Start with less and add more to desired taste/ texture.
  2. Sprinkle with hibiscus flower!
expiry
