Ingredients

Scale

Chiffon Cake

  • 1 cup (120 g) cake flour
  • 1 teaspoon (4 g) baking powder
  • 6 large eggs, separated (whites and yolks, room temperature)
  • 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) cream of tartar
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) sugar, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1 g) salt
  • 2 tablespoons (30 g) milk
  • 1 teaspoon (5 g) vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup (70 g) vegetable oil

Whipped Cream and Filling

  • 2 1/2 cups (600 g) heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup (40 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 fresh mangos, peeled and cubed

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oven and Pans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the bottoms of three 6-inch cake pans with parchment paper without greasing. Set aside.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: Sift together the cake flour and baking powder in a large bowl. Whisk to combine and set aside.
  3. Make Meringue: Using a stand or hand mixer, beat the egg whites until foamy. Add cream of tartar and continue beating on high until pale white and frothy. Gradually add ⅓ of the sugar (¼ cup), one tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form—when the whisk is lifted, the peaks should stand straight up.
  4. Prepare Egg Yolk Mixture: In another bowl, beat the egg yolks, remaining ⅔ of the sugar (½ cup), salt, milk, and vanilla extract on high speed until fluffy and pale yellow. The batter should form a ribbon and hold for 3-4 seconds.
  5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add the sifted dry ingredient mixture into the egg yolk mixture in three additions, gently folding each time until combined.
  6. Add Oil: Mix a few spoonfuls of the batter with the vegetable oil, then gently fold this back into the egg yolk mixture evenly.
  7. Fold in Meringue: Gradually fold the meringue into the egg yolk mixture in three batches, folding gently in an upward motion each time to avoid deflating the batter until no streaks remain.
  8. Bake the Cake: Divide the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. Gently tap the pans to remove air bubbles. Bake for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edges and release them onto wire racks to cool completely. Trim the tops for even layers.
  9. Make Whipped Cream: In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract on high speed until medium-stiff peaks form. Refrigerate until ready to assemble.
  10. Assemble the Cake: Place one cake layer on a work surface or cake turntable. Spread a thin layer of whipped cream evenly on top, then add an even layer of mango chunks. Cover mangoes with another layer of whipped cream to fill gaps. Repeat with remaining layers.
  11. Crumb Coat and Decorate: Apply a thin layer of whipped cream over the entire cake to seal in crumbs. Chill in the refrigerator or freezer for 15 minutes. Then, spread on a final smooth layer of whipped cream. Use a piping bag fitted with a star tip and fresh mango chunks to decorate the top of the cake.
  12. Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the finished mango cake for 1-2 hours to set before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs to get maximum volume when whipping the egg whites and yolks.
  • Be gentle when folding the meringue into the batter to keep the cake light and airy.
  • The chiffon cake pans should not be greased to help the cake climb and rise properly.
  • Ensure heavy whipping cream and tools are chilled for best whipped cream texture.
  • Fresh, ripe mangoes provide the best flavor, but frozen mango can be used if fresh is unavailable.
  • This cake is best served within 24 hours for optimal freshness and texture.
