MANGO CAKE

Steps:

• First, make puree: Combine 2 cups of ripe mango, ½ cup water, and 2 Tbsp sugar. Put in a blender or use stab mixer and process for a minute or until a puree consistency is reached. Make sure all lumps are gone.
• Warm dissolved gelatin in the microwave for 10 seconds or on the stove just until all particles have melted but do not let it boil. Add gelatin and powdered sugar to the puree and mix well.
• In a big bowl, using a hand or stand mixer, whip mascarpone for a minute, while continuously whipping add the cream slowly until it becomes fluffy and stiff peak form. Using a spatula, slowly fold the puree mixture into the cream until well incorporated.
• Assemble the cake: Divide the sponge cake into 2 layers. Using a springform or a cake ring that is wider than the cake, leaving 1-2 cm space between the edges of the cake to the ring, place the first layer in the middle. Scatter the remaining mango cubes on top of the cake. Pour the cream mixture until the mango cubes are covered. Place the next layer of cake on top. Pour the remaining cream covering the cake completely.
• Chill the Mango cake in the fridge for at least an hour or until it has set completely. Run a warm knife at the sides to separate the cake from the ring easier. Design as desired and serve while cold.

CLOUD CAKE

Steps:

• Meringue: Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Butter three 8-inch round cake pans. Line bottoms and sides with parchment, leaving at least 1/2 inch extra on sides; butter parchment. Pulse sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a food processor until finely ground.
• With a mixer on medium-high speed, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Beat in sugar mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time, then beat until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 5 minutes more. Divide mixture among pans; smooth tops. Bake 1 hour, then turn off oven and prop open door. Let cool 1 hour. Transfer pan to a wire rack; let cool completely.
• Cream: In a bowl, whisk together sugar, flour, and salt. In a saucepan, combine buttermilk, yolks, and vanilla pod and seeds; place over medium heat. Gradually whisk in sugar mixture. Cook, stirring, until just boiling, about 9 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on solids; press plastic wrap directly on surface and refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour and up to 3 days.
• Caramel: Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Stir together sugar and corn syrup in a microwave-proof bowl. Microwave on high 3 minutes, stirring after each minute. Stir again, then microwave just until golden and caramelized, about 15 seconds more. Immediately pour mixture onto prepared sheet and let cool until firm. Remove from sheet; finely chop.
• Using parchment, lift meringue cakes from pans; discard parchment. Carefully place one cake on a platter or cake stand. Spread half of cream on top. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons caramel. Repeat with second cake layer, remaining cream, and 3 more tablespoons caramel. Top with whipped cream and remaining caramel; serve immediately.
