  • 420gself-raising flour
  • 300gcaster sugar
  • 1 tspbaking powder

  • 6 tbspmango purée (plus extra for drizzling)
  • 400gdesiccated coconut (for layers and coating)
  • 1ripe mango (cubed)
  • Rosemary sprigs (optional)

Instructions

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (fan) and lining three 8-inch cake tins with baking paper. In a jug, mix the dairy-free milk with apple cider vinegar and let it sit for about 10 minutes to curdle.
  2. In a separate mixing bowl, sift together self-raising flour, caster sugar, baking powder, and bicarbonate of soda. Once your buttermilk is ready, add sunflower oil and vanilla extract, then combine this wet mixture with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until fully incorporated.
  3. Pour both the mango-flavored and plain batter into the prepared cake tins in a swirl pattern. Use a skewer to gently swirl the batters. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the cakes spring back when lightly touched.
  4. While the cakes cool, prepare the buttercream by beating the softened dairy-free butter until creamy. Gradually add in icing sugar and the remaining mango purée.
  5. When your cake layers are completely cool, start assembly by spreading a layer of mango buttercream on a cake layer, followed by a drizzle of mango purée and a sprinkle of desiccated coconut. Stack the layers and apply a thin crumb coat, then chill for 15–20 minutes.
  6. After chilling, apply a thicker final coat of buttercream and smooth it out. Press desiccated coconut over the entire cake, decorate with buttercream swirls, and garnish with fresh mango cubes.

Notes

Always ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best results and don’t skip the cooling process.
