YIPEE!! Mangoes are finally in season!! yipee!!! I love mangoes, last year wasn't a very good mango season in Hawaii, but this year, there are tons and tons of mangoes!! With the mangoes we bought, I made a special cake for my dad for father's day. I used the cake from the Lychee mousse cake, and filled it with whipped cream and mango filling. I also topped it off with more mangoes. I will definitely make this again, it's delicious and doesn't take too long to make! Here's the recipe:

This looks great and the fact that you said it's simple is a big plus. I remember as a kid in Hawaii during Mango season. We wold eat them in the car with our hands out the window dripping juice down the side of the car. Hahaha
Hi Ivy,
thanks for visiting the blog. I always make a mess too when I eat mangoes, but I love it!! =P
Oh my, that is absolutely beautiful and sounds SO good! It certainly doesn't look "simple" but that is definitely a bonus. Thanks!
HI JJ,
that's the best part about this cake. It's so delicious, but really didn't take that long to make. You can also substitute any other type of fruits you want.
