Recipe Description

This Easy Thai Mango Cake recipe is one of my favorite cakes to make. The flavor of the mango transports me instantly to the tropical heat of Thailand. I love any recipe that brings some of that sunshine onto my table.

I start by making a standard coconut cake using eggs, sugar, coconut (dried, oil and essence), flour, baking powder and salt. I then make a cream cheese filling and frosting before assembling the cake and decorating with mango chunks. If I find fresh mango at the store, I use that or you can use canned mango if you prefer.
