Mango Coconut Cake Food

UPSIDE-DOWN MANGO CAKE

Steps:

• Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch springform pan and set aside.
• Combine the brown sugar and 4 tablespoons of the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the syrup is bubbling. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook until it turns light amber, about 10 minutes. Carefully pour the butter mixture into the prepared pan and arrange the mango on top, overlapping the slices. Sprinkle the shredded coconut on top and set aside.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl and reserve. Beat together the granulated sugar and remaining 8 tablespoons butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer at high speed until light and fluffy, about 6 minutes. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla. Add half of the flour mixture and mix at low speed until just combined. Mix in the milk, then add the remaining flour and mix until just combined.
• Gently spoon the batter into the pan over the coconut and mango and spread evenly. Bake on the middle rack until golden brown and a tester comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let the cake cool in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes.
• Run a thin knife around the inside edge of the pan, then invert a plate over the pan and invert the cake onto the plate. Let the cake cool completely on the plate, at least 20 minutes, then serve at room temperature.

TROPICAL COCONUT CAKE WITH MANGO CENTER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven 350 degrees F. Spray a 10-cup Bundt pan with cooking spray.
• Whisk the cake mix, pudding mix, coconut oil, coconut extract, egg whites and 3/4 cup water in a large bowl until completely smooth. Pour into the prepared bundt pan and bake until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Flip the cake out onto a wire rack and place the rack over a baking sheet; let cool completely, about 1 hour. Trim the bottom of the cake with a serrated knife so it will sit flat on a serving platter.
• Put the chocolate in a medium heat-safe bowl. Put the cream in a medium microwave-safe bowl and microwave until boiling, about 2 minutes. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let stand for 5 minutes. Stir until completely smooth. Refrigerate until cooled, about 20 minutes.
• Pour the ganache over the cake, making sure to cover the cake completely and letting any excess drip down into the baking sheet beneath the rack. Cover the top and sides with 1 cup of the coconut. Refrigerate until the chocolate is hardened, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, put the mangoes in a blender and puree until smooth. Pour 1 1/2 cups puree into a small saucepan (reserve any leftover puree for another use).
• Stir the sugar into the saucepan with the puree and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes. Whisk the cornstarch with 1 1/2 teaspoons water in a small bowl until smooth. Pour into the mango mixture and cook until slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool at room temperature, about 20 minutes.
• Transfer the cake to a serving platter. Pour the mango puree into the hole in the center of the cake, letting it come all the way up to the top but not dripping over the sides. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup coconut on top of the mango puree to cover it completely. Slice the cake, pull out a piece and watch the mango ooze out.

FROZEN COCONUT CREAM MANGO CAKES (VEGAN)

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350'F.
• Lightly coat the 8 ring molds with vegan spray oil. The molds should measure 2 inches high by 2 1/4 inches in diameter.
• Place on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• If using an 8" spring form pan, coat the sides and bottom with spray oil.
• FOR THE CRUST.
• Pulse the macadamia nuts and 3 tablespoons sugar together in the food processor until finely ground.
• In a separate bowl, combine the nuts, flour and vegan margarine with a fork until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
• Spoon a generous tablespoons into each of the 8 molds and press into the bottom.
• At this point, if you are using the spring form pan, press all of the crust into the bottom. No need for the parchment or rimmed baking pan. Just pop the spring form pan into the oven as is.
• Bake until golden brown, around 12 minutes. Let cool.
• FOR THE MOUSSE.
• Pour the orange juice into a small saucepan. Sprinkle with the gelatin and let sit for 5 minutes until soft. Heat on low stirring to dissolve. Remove from heat.
• Cut one quarter of one mango into 1/8 inch slices for garnish if you like. This step is up to you.
• I'm using the spring form pan, so I did this to decorate the top. You could also keep the mango slices to serve along side the little molds.
• Course chop the remaining mangoes. In a blender puree the mango and one cup of sugar plus the lemon juice until smooth.
• With the blender running slowly add the gelatin mixture and combine well.
• Transfer to a large bowl.
• If you are using the coconut whipped cream you can re-whip it and add the icing sugar.
• If making this with dairy whipped cream, whip the cream and add the icing sugar to form soft peaks.
• Add 1/3 of the whipped cream into the mango mixture and gently fold it together.
• If you are using the small molds divide the mango whipped cream mixture evenly among the molds. Fill about 3/4 full. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, anywhere from 4 hours to a week.
• If you are using the spring form pan follow the instructions as above and add the mango coconut mixture on top of the macadamia crust. Spread it evenly.
• Decorate the dessert with the mango slices, or serve them along side.
• When you are ready to serve this dessert, let it stand at room temperature for 4-6 minutes before removing from the molds, or spring form pan.
• Let sit 8-10 minutes before slicing if you are using the spring form pan.
• Store what's left in the fridge and cover well. I put my cake back in to the spring form pan to keep its shape.
• Bon Appetit.
