Mangoes are considered the queen of tropical fruit in Brazil, and mango trees grow throughout my homeland. I love the sweet, musky flavor of the fruit, and frequently feature it in my desserts, as I do in this festive cake. The cake layers are made with mango puree, which gives them a yellow color that is contrasted with bright chunks of Maraschino cherries. A lush coconut cream and crushed pineapple complete the tropical flavor profile of this delicious layer cake,” said Fernanda Capobianco.
