Mango Rose Cake

Mango Rose Cake is an integral part of the mango season. Commonly also known as MRC. If you are a lover of alphonso mangoes then this is a great way to indulge in mango season and enjoy a cake too. Using the same technique of rolling thinly sliced mangoes you can cover the whole cake in mango roses. I decorated just a small portion of it.

Notes

I have been using another white cake recipe for 2 years and like it very much but sometimes for tiered cake, it is not as sturdy as I would like it to be. So trying out a new recipe. I will confirm my final verdict on it after soaking it liberally next time. I like my cakes to be very moist with melt in the mouth texture. So I will make one more attempt with the max soaking a cake can take and will then decide if it’s a keeper or no. Nevertheless the recipe is good and gave a great cake.
