Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for Mango Sponge Gelatin! It combines the softness of sponge cake with the refreshing taste of mango and the smoothness of gelatin. A perfect dessert for mango lovers!

Ingredients:

For the Sponge Cake:

• 2 large eggs

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

• 1/4 cup sugar

• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

• A pinch of salt

For the Mango Gelatin Layer:

• 1 1/2 cups mango puree (fresh or canned)

• 1 cup water

• 2 tablespoons sugar (optional, depending on the sweetness of your mango puree)

• 1 packet (about 7g) unflavored gelatin powder

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)

Instructions:

1. Make the Sponge Cake:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a small round cake pan (about 8 inches).

2. In a bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.

3. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into the egg mixture. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula.

4. Add the vanilla extract and mix gently.

5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6. Let the sponge cake cool completely in the pan before transferring it to a plate.

2. Make the Mango Gelatin Layer:

1. In a small saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Heat it over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.

2. Remove the saucepan from heat and sprinkle the gelatin powder over the warm water. Stir until the gelatin dissolves completely. Let it cool slightly.

3. In a blender, puree the mango (if using fresh mango, peel and chop it before blending). You should get about 1 1/2 cups of mango puree.

4. Mix the mango puree with the gelatin mixture. Add the lemon juice for a slight tang, if desired.

5. Allow the mango-gelatin mixture to cool to room temperature.

3. Assemble the Dessert:

1. Cut the cooled sponge cake into the desired shape or leave it as a whole layer at the bottom of a serving dish.

2. Pour the mango-gelatin mixture over the cake, ensuring it’s evenly covered.

3. Place the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours, or until the gelatin has set completely.

4. Serve:

Once the Mango Sponge Gelatin has set, slice and serve chilled. It’s a refreshing and light dessert perfect for warm days!
