Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 100 grams Coconut sugar
- 60 ml Coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 large Eggs
- 300 ml Fresh mango puree
- 400 ml Coconut cream
- 2 teaspoons Agar-agar powder
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line the bottom of a 9-inch round springform pan with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, mix coconut sugar, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time to the wet ingredients, beating well after each addition.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the mango mousse, place the coconut cream in a saucepan over low heat and stir until it's smooth. Add agar-agar and whisk constantly until the mixture starts to simmer gently. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the mango puree and maple syrup until completely mixed.
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
Once cooled, pour the mango mousse over the cooled cake layer in the springform pan.
Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until the mousse is set.
Carefully remove the cake from the springform pan and transfer to a serving plate. Slice and serve chilled.
