Steps:

Mango Filling

1. Let's start with the mango filling since we have to cool it down before using. So, mix all ingredients together in a saucepan. Just cook over medium-low heat with constant stirring until color turns translucent and mixture becomes very thick. Set aside and chill.

6. Now, fold in the meringue using the spatula. Do not over-mix.

 
7. Transfer batter in a round 9 inch baking pan. Do not grease your baking pan. Bake at 180 degrees C (350 F) for 30-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.

 
8. Cool it down before applying your buttercream.

 

 

Mango Buttercream

1. Cream the butter until fluffy.
2. Add vegetable shortening. Cream them together until soft and silky. It helps sustain stability of the buttercream but it's optional.

3. Gradually pour sifted powdered sugar while continuously beating the mixture.
4. Gradually add half of the mango filling. You can puree the filling if you don't want chunks on your buttercream. It will be a little bit hard to pipe if there's chunks of mango in it.

Assemble the cake.

1. You can either cut the cake into half or leave it as is. If you cut it, fill one layer with mango filling then cover with the other half.
2. Cover the cake with buttercream. Decorate with your preferred design.
3. Put the rest of the mango filling on the top of the cake.
4. You can drizzle it with chocolate or caramel syrup to add flavor.
