This is my blog for this month's - April Kulinarya theme. Our host Lala of This Little Piggy challenged us w/ DECADENCE food and the first that came to mind is mango!!! It is Asian mango season here. I know, you'll probably say whattt? they are always available. Yes, the greenish, reddish type of mango which i don't like. and no, i'm not a snub, i'm just spoiled ha!ha!.. Try the other variety of mango which is commonly called Asian mango or Atulfo, i'm sure you'll agree with me. .Asian mangoes are way better. They are sweeter and not fibrous at all.
This is just to compare and show how big these mangoes are.
I've blogged mango dishes please click http://bisayajudkaayo.blogspot.com/search/label/Mangoes.

THE QUANTITY/MEASUREMENT FOR THIS DISH ARE ESTIMATES. I BELIEVE THAT IT WILL REALLY DEPEND ON HOW MUCH YOU'D LIKE TO MAKE AND HOW MUCH MANGOES YOU'D LIKE TO PUT IN YOUR CAKE.
Cake and Mango
Ingredients:
5 packs of broas (Lady fingers) add more if you want more layers.
6 mangoes sliced thinly (depend on the size of the mango)
Directions:
1. Slice mangoes thinly, discard the seeds. Set aside.
2. Coat the baking pan with softened butter.
3. Arrange and layer broas on bottom of the pan.
4. Pour and spread about 1/2 cup of the buttercream frosting.
5. Arrange sliced mangoes.
6. Repeat process, layer broas, then buttercream then mangoes.
7. The top most must be the buttercream layer.
8. Arrange the sliced mangoes. I made two different ways to arrange the mangoes. Please see below pictures.
