About this recipe

This lemon-mango-passion fruit cake is a tribute to sunny days and exotic aromas. The idea came from the desire to combine the refreshing acidity of lemons with the sweetness of mango and the slightly sour note of passion fruit. I still remember my first attempt when the fruit filling turned out a bit too liquid – but practice makes perfect! The ingredients all play an important role. The soft butter in the sponge cake ensures a delicate texture, while the lemon zest and juice provide a pleasant freshness. The eggs bind the ingredients and give the sponge cake structure. The flour and baking powder provide the necessary lightness. For the cream, I use Greek yogurt, mascarpone and sour cream to achieve a creamy but not too heavy consistency. San-Apart stabilizes the cream and prevents it from soaking through. The mango-passion fruit smoothie forms the basis for the fruit filling, which is complemented by fresh mango and passion fruit. Agar-agar ensures the firmness of the fruit mirror. Coconut flakes and blueberries serve as decoration and bring additional texture and flavor into play. When preparing in the Thermomix®, it is important to use the butter really soft so that it mixes well with the sugar. The eggs should be at room temperature so that they can be incorporated into the dough better. When cooking the lemon syrup and the fruit filling, be sure to put on the measuring cup to avoid splashing. The cream should not be beaten for too long, otherwise it may curdle. The fruit filling must cool well before being layered onto the cake so that the cream does not melt. For a vegetarian version, you can use gelatin instead of agar-agar. For a vegan version, you would have to replace the butter with a vegetable alternative, the eggs with an egg substitute and the dairy products with vegan alternatives. You could also add other spices such as ginger or cardamom to give the cake a special touch. Serve the cake well chilled. A glass of chilled white wine or a fruity cocktail goes well with it. You can also garnish the cake with fresh fruit or a dollop of cream. The cake will keep in the refrigerator for about 2-3 days. You can also prepare and freeze the sponge cake bases. However, the cream should be freshly prepared. The fruit filling can also be prepared and stored in the refrigerator.
