Instructions

Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and line the bottom of an 8-inch cake tin.
In a large bowl, combine hot water and 65g of granulated sugar. Add egg yolks and vanilla essence, whisk until light and fluffy.
Mix in vegetable oil.
Sift in all-purpose flour, baking powder, and cornstarch. Gently fold until combined.
In another bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add remaining 65g of granulated sugar, continue whisking until stiff peaks form.
Carefully fold egg whites into the egg yolk mixture until well combined. Pour batter into prepared tin.
Bake for about 40-50 minutes or until cake springs back when pressed in the center. Cool on a wire rack.
Prepare whipped cream by combining thickened cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Whisk until stiff peaks form.
Cut cooled cake into three equal layers. Place a layer on a turntable and spread a thin layer of whipped cream on top.
Add thinly sliced mango and top with more whipped cream. Repeat with another layer and finish with the last sponge layer.
Spread a thin layer of whipped cream over the entire cake and garnish with mango cubes. Chill in the fridge for 1-2 hours before serving.

Notes

Ensure the cake is completely cool before assembly to prevent melting the whipped cream.
Chilling the cake allows the flavors to meld beautifully and ensures a firm texture.
Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar in the whipped cream to suit your taste.
