Mango rose cake

With mangoes in season all I could think was this delicious beautiful mango rose cake.We are a family of mango lovers and relish mango on its own .But a cake never hurts-right? Mango has its own sweetness and colour and is perfect for cakes.A moist vanilla cake layered with whipped  cream and adorned with mango in the form of a flower.Why vanilla not a chocolate? ( my kids too asked the same ).I don't want to over power the taste of mango with chocolate + mango and vanilla are a combo made in heaven.I have just added mango puree between the whipped cream layers just to increase the mango flavour.

Mangoes haven't  still appeared in  this part of the world.The ones that are available are not of good quality.After drooling over the mango recipes all over social media I couldn't control my self  from baking a mango cake .Off late i have realised that I haven't baked any thing with mango yet . The main reason is we are a Mango loving family and my kids really warn me to stay away from mangoes .They just want to peel ,dice and gobble .This one is a simple recipe with almost all ingredients easily available .Readers of my blog always ask me for a simple recipe which a novice can bake .With some mango puree left in the fridge I have tried this cake hope you all  will like this . I have used gelatin you can substitute it with agar -agar too for a vegetarian version. Joconde imprime is a french technique using almond flour .But I have dared to do it with regular sponge recipe.Filled with mango mousse and mango jelly this cake tastes mango in every bite .Bake the pattern first and later the sponge .
