Units Scale

For the Cake:

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 12 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup cake flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped dried mango
  • Yellow food coloring (optional)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream

For the Mango Topping:

  • 2 cups diced ripe mango (fresh or canned)
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp cornstarch

Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Cake:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat egg yolks with 1/2 cup sugar until pale and thick. Stir in vanilla and optional yellow food coloring.
  3. Sift together cake flour, salt, and baking powder. Fold in chopped dried mango.
  4. In another clean bowl, whip egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, beating until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture in thirds. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched.

2️⃣ Roll the Cake:

  1. Dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar.
  2. Invert the warm cake onto the towel, peel off the parchment, and roll the cake with the towel into a spiral. Cool completely.

3️⃣ Cheesecake Filling:

  1. Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Whip heavy cream to stiff peaks and fold into the cream cheese mixture.

4️⃣ Assemble the Cake:

  1. Gently unroll the cooled cake and spread the cheesecake filling evenly.
  2. Re-roll the cake tightly, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

5️⃣ Make the Mango Topping:

  1. Cook mango, sugar, lemon juice, and water in a saucepan over medium heat until the mango softens (5-7 minutes).
  2. Mix cornstarch with water to form a slurry, stir into the mango mixture, and cook until thickened. Cool completely.

6️⃣ Decorate and Serve:

  1. Unwrap the chilled cake and place it on a serving platter.
  2. Spoon mango topping over the cake and garnish with extra mango pieces if desired.
  3. Slice and serve.

Notes

  • Ensure the cake is warm but not hot before rolling to avoid cracks.
  • The mango topping can be made a day ahead for convenience.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
