Easy Thai Mango Cake

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.

To make Easy Thai Mango Cake, you will need the following ingredients:So, how to make Easy Thai Mango Cake?

Tasty, simple, perfect. My hubby surprised me with this cake for my birthday! Each bite reminded me of our trip to Thailand. The blend of coconut and mango was divine. I never baked a cake so easy, and it turned out just beautiful. Can't wait to make it again.
