Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240ml) ripe mango puree (fresh or frozen, thawed)
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lime zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (120ml) buttermilk (or dairy-free milk plus 1 tsp vinegar)
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup (57g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups (180g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons mango puree (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Using a mixer, beat softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract, mango puree, and lime zest.
  5. Alternately add dry ingredients and buttermilk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined.
  6. Drop rounded spoonfuls (about 2 tablespoons each) of batter onto prepared sheets, spacing 2 inches apart (about 24 rounds).
  7. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until tops spring back lightly when pressed and edges are lightly golden.
  8. Transfer cakes to wire racks to cool completely before filling (at least 30 minutes).
  9. Beat cream cheese and softened butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, then lime juice, optional mango puree, and vanilla extract. Beat until fluffy and spreadable.
  10. Spread a tablespoon of filling on the flat side of one cake and sandwich with another. Repeat for all pairs.

Notes

If the filling is too soft, chill for 15 minutes before assembling. Use fresh lime zest and juice for best flavor. Avoid overmixing batter to keep cakes fluffy. Sift powdered sugar and flour to prevent lumps. Cakes should be fully cooled before filling to prevent melting. Can substitute almond flour for gluten-free and coconut yogurt for dairy-free versions.
