18th June 2010,
This day is my friend's birthday and she have organised a party at Neway karaoke. Well, I didn't expect she request me to make a cake for her instead of giving her a present. The moment i know about this, I was so stressful as I never do a cake for outsider. I mean a complete big cake for birthday occassion. I only did it for family members..Although, i feel stressful but I willing to take the challenge. So, i tell myself i must make it and overcome this 1st step.
I've taken 3 days to prepared . I bought the ingredients on 1st day, then 2nd day baked the sponge cake, prepare the mousse etc..and chilled the cake. 3rd day, take 1/2 day leave from work, prepare for the decoration as well as my emotion to get ready for the nite..
Here it comes...my mango mousse cake ..!!! Well, although is not that beautiful but i can tell you is really tasty and is purely homemade. Using the freshest ingredients to make tis up.
Im glad that my fren and others like the cake...the mango taste is so strong ..is delicious..
In fact, I have so many ideas to decorate the cake but just lack of ingredients at home and still lack of the skill to make it nice..
Mango Mousse:-
400gm fresh mango
25ml lemon juice
80gm sugar
10gm gelatine powders
240gm yogurt (im using the Nestle mango yogurt)
230ml whipping cream
Method:
1) Bloom the gelatine. Mix the mango and lemon juice in the blender & blend it.
2) Pour mixture into a pan and mix in the sugar. Cook until the sugar is melt.
3) Put the gelatine into the mango mixture and stir until smooth, let the mixture cool at room temperature.
4) When its cooled, pour in the yogurt and mix it well.
5) Whisk the whipping cream till soft peak and fold in the mango mixture.
6) Pour over the cake and keep in the refrigerator for overnite.
Recipe for Sponge cake (20cm round pan):
4 large eggs (room temp)
100gm castor sugar
4g salt
140gm cake flour (sift it)
30gm salad oil ( I used melted margerine/butter)

Method:
1) Whisk the egg and sugar till double in volumn and ribbon-like.
2) Add sifted cake flour into the batter, and gently fold it till is well blended.
3) Use a spatula, mix 1/3 of the batter with the oil in a separate bowl . Then pour back the mixture into the batter and fold it well (this method is to ensure the oil is well blended with the batter).
4) Add in fresh milk and mix it gently.
5) Pour it into pan and bake it for 35mins or until the skewer inserted in the center and come out clean .
6) Unmould and cool it.
