Description
Mini Mango Yuzu Chantilly Cake that Dances on Your Palate
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large Eggs (Ensure egg whites are free of yolk for optimal whipping.)
- 1 cup Sugar (Granulated) (Can substitute with coconut sugar for a caramel note.)
- 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil (Try melted coconut oil for a tropical flavor.)
- 1 cup Whole Milk (Use almond or oat milk as a dairy-free alternative.)
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract (Can be replaced with almond extract for a unique twist.)
- 2 tbsp Yuzu Powder (Substitute with yuzu juice or lemon zest if unavailable.)
- 1 cup Cake Flour (For gluten-free, use a gluten-free cake flour blend.)
- 1/2 tsp Cream of Tartar (Can omit if not available, but be cautious in whipping.)
- 1 cup Heavy Cream (Coconut cream can be used for a dairy-free version.)
- 1/4 cup Powdered Sugar (No replacements necessary.)
- 1 cup Fresh Mango (Choose any ripe mango variety for best flavor.)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Whisk egg yolks and sugar until pale and creamy. Mix in oil, milk, vanilla, and yuzu powder until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whip egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
- Fold whipped egg whites into yolk mixture gently, then fold in cake flour until just combined.
- Pour batter into a quarter sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 12 minutes or until lightly golden.
- Let cool for 5-10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
- Cut out four rounds from the cake using a 4-inch cutter.
- Layer one cake round with chantilly cream and slices of mango. Repeat with remaining rounds, finishing with cream.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of sugar.
- Experiment with different fruits for layering.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
