Instructions
Step 1
In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This usually takes about 5 minutes.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Grease and line your cake pans with parchment paper.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Once baked, allow the cakes to cool in the pans for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 3
While the cakes are cooling, prepare your filling. In a bowl, combine mango puree and passion fruit puree. Mix well until fully blended.
Gently fold in the whipped cream until you achieve a light and fluffy filling. Be careful not to deflate the mixture.
Step 4
Once the cake layers are completely cool, place the first layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of the fruit filling on top.
Add the second cake layer on top and repeat the process. If using, you can add additional layers or fillings as desired.
Step 5
Finally, decorate the top of your cake with edible flowers and sugar flowers to create an elegant finish.
Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
Servings
For a fancy touch, *sprinkle some shredded coconut* over the top or add slices of fresh mango as a stunning garnish. The vibrant colors will make your cake box an irresistible centerpiece! 🥭 Plus, it’s an excellent conversation starter to share with friends who will be eager to know your baking secrets! Everyone will be talking about your delightful creation, so make sure to have your camera ready for those Instagram-worthy snaps! 📸
Equipment
A sturdy mixing bowl is essential for combining your ingredients. Make sure it's large enough to allow for easy mixing without spills – no one likes a mess!



For a smooth and fluffy batter, a hand mixer or stand mixer will save you time and effort. Plus, it ensures an even mix!



Use a square or rectangular baking pan depending on the cake box size you desire. Grease it well or line it with parchment paper to avoid sticking.



A good spatula helps in spreading the batter evenly in the pan. Choose a silicone spatula for easy scraping!



Allow your cake to cool properly on a rack. This prevents sogginess and keeps the texture just right!



Variations
For a **gluten-free** variation, simply substitute all-purpose flour with a mix of almond flour and gluten-free flour blend. This not only keeps the cake soft but adds a delightful nutty flavor! 🌰
For those following a **vegan** lifestyle, swap eggs for flax eggs (mix 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed with 2.5 tablespoons water) and choose a non-dairy milk like almond or coconut milk. This version is still irresistibly delicious, bursting with tropical goodness! 🍃
