Writer's picture: Happy Hungry Hijabi Happy Hungry Hijabi

Mangoes are a fruit that I don’t enjoy as much as my husband. I feel like it’s too sweet for my liking. So I decided that I wanted the flavour of mango in a cake, but something different. This mango three milk cake was exactly what I imagined in my mind. It turned out to be a lovely, light refreshing dessert, that was enjoyed by everyone at home. It is best served chilled and you have to make sure you use those really sweet and soft mangoes.

Chill Time 2 hours
