Mini Mango Yuzu Chantilly Cake

The Mini Mango Yuzu Chantilly Cake features a delicate sponge enriched with yuzu powder for subtle citrus flavor, layered with fresh mango slices and topped with lightly sweetened vanilla chantilly cream. The cake’s light and tender crumb pairs with the creamy chantilly and the juicy mango for a balancing combination. This petite cake makes an elegant dessert with bright and smooth textures from the yuzu, mango, and whipped cream.

Description

The Mini Mango Yuzu Chantilly Cake begins with a softly whipped egg white and yolk batter where cake flour, vanilla, vegetable oil, milk, and yuzu powder create a tender, aromatic sponge. The yuzu adds gentle citrus notes distinct from traditional flavors. Fresh mango slices bring natural sweetness and juiciness, complementing the airy chantilly cream made from heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. The chantilly tops the cake, offering smooth, lightly sweet creaminess that balances the sponge and fruit. Proper whipping of egg whites and folding technique contribute to the cake's light texture without heaviness. Serving the cake fresh preserves the creamy softness and fruit freshness.

Ingredients

Servings

Cake:

  • 2 egg separated egg whites from egg yolks, large
  • 40 g granulated sugar divided
  • 20 ml vegetable oil
  • 20 ml milk whole
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon yuzu powder
  • 40 g cake flour
  • teaspoon cream of tartar

Chantilly cream:

  • 150 ml heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Mango:

  • 1-2 large Mango pitted and sliced, fresh

Instructions

Make the cake:

  1. Prepare a 9" by 13" baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. Separate the egg whites from the egg yolks into 2 different bowls (one for egg whites and one for egg yolks).
  3. Tip: ensure your bowl for beating the egg whites is clean, with no traces of oil. Give the bowl and whisk a quick wipe with paper towel and a bit of lemon juice or vinegar prior to adding the egg whites.
  4. Preheat the oven to 375°F/191°C.
  5. Combine the egg yolks with 20g sugar and whisk together. Add in the oil, milk, vanilla extract, yuzu powder and whisk again.
  6. Sift in the cake flour over top of the egg yolk mixture and whisk to combine, until there are no lumps.
  7. In a clean stand mixer bowl fitted with a whisk attachment, add the room temperature egg whites.
  8. Turn on the mixer on low speed.
  9. Once the egg whites become foamy with bubbles, add in a little cream of tartar (or lemon juice/vinegar).
  10. Gradually increase the speed of the mixer, and slowly pour in the remaining 20g granulated sugar.
  11. Continue to whip the egg whites until fluffy, shiny and reaches a soft peak. (The egg whites will form a curved tail at the end of the whisk).
  12. Using a spatula, fold about ⅓rd of the egg whites into the egg yolk batter. This will help to loosen up the egg yolk batter.
  13. Note: Folding is different than stirring. It takes a lighter hand to not deflate the whipped egg whites. To fold, take the spatula to the bottom of the mixture, and scoop up (a slow flick of the wrist) while turning the bowl about 90 degrees. Continue to turn the bowl and fold until the mixture is almost homogeneous.
  14. Add the next 3rd of the egg white mixture, folding it into the egg yolk mixture. Continue to fold until all of the remaining egg white mixture is incorporated into the batter, but be sure not to overfold or the egg whites will be deflated.
  15. Transfer the cake batter to a 9″ by 13″ baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  16. Give the tray a few taps to release any trapped air bubbles.
  17. Bake at 375°F/191°C for 10-12 minutes, until the cake surface is golden brown and dry to the touch. The cake should be bounce back when slightly pressed with a finger tip.
  18. Remove the cake from the oven and immediately drop it from a height of 1′. This prevents the cake from shrinkage.
  19. Let the cake cool on a cooling rack.

Make the Chantilly cream:

  1. Tip: A chilled bowl (in the fridge) will help the cream to whip up nicely.
  2. Pour the heavy cream into the chilled bowl, add in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract and use a whisk to whip to soft peaks. Note: be careful not to overwhip the chantilly cream.

Assemble:

  1. Use a round 4" cutter to cut the cake into 4 rounds.
  2. Take one round and place it onto a cake board.
  3. Spread a dollop of whipped cream and even it out with an offset spatula.
  4. Place sliced mangoes in a single layer.
  5. Cover with a little more cream.
  6. Place on another cake layer and repeat, ending with the 4th cake layer as the top.
  7. Spread the whipped chantilly cream over the entire surface of the cake.
  8. Decorate to your liking, with additional mango.
  9. Place the cake into the fridge to chill prior to serving.

Notes

  • The amount of chantilly cream can be increased to cover the whole cake for more richness.
  • Under whipping the chantilly cream is preferable for smoother texture; avoid overwhipping which can cause graininess or butter formation.
