Cake Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9" springform pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar.
- Add the milk, neutral oil, flax egg, and vanilla extract, stirring until the batter is smooth.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for approximately 15 minutes until the cake is lightly browned and a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool completely on a wire rack.
Mousse Preparation
- Bloom the gelatin powder in cold water for about 5 minutes.
- Blend the mango chunks until smooth to create a mango puree.
- Gently heat the bloomed gelatin until it dissolves completely, then mix into the mango puree.
- Whip the cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form and fold into the mango mixture.
- Pour the mango mousse over the cooled cake and smooth the top. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Curd Preparation
- Heat the reserved mango puree with sugar over medium heat until it simmers.
- Mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry and add to the simmering mango mixture, stirring continuously.
- Cook until the curd thickens, then stir in butter.
- Allow to cool before pouring over the set mousse layer.
- Chill the cake for 12 hours or overnight before serving.
