As we are in mango season, i thought of giving this recipe a twist and adding this heavenly fruit to it. We are going ahead and making a normal almond cake but with few twist as the name suggest.
The base of this cake is going to be lemon crumble, mid-section will be the main almond mango cake and top it off with Nutmeg brulee.
Ingredients
Crumble:
Butter 30g
Sugar 30g
Almond flour 60g
lemon zest 1
salt 1.5g
Cake
Mango pureed 135g
Eggs 100g
Sugar 100g
Honey 25g
Almond flour 170g
Cornstarch 20g
Baking Powder 2.5g
Nutmeg brulee
Cream 300g
Sugar 60g
Egg yolks 3nos
Nutmeg powder 4g
Method
For the crumble take all the ingredients in a bowl and rub them together until you get a sandy texture. Press it into small chunks and spread it onto a lined tin.
Pre-heat the oven to 160 degrees and bake it until golden brown.
while the crumble is baking we will go ahead with the brulee. Heat the cream sugar and nutmeg in a pan until it gets warm and the flavors combine.
Take the cream off the heat and add a bit of the mixture into the egg yolks while stirring it fast, so as to avoid the egg from cooking, add the egg mix back into the cream pan while stirring it. This process here is called tempering of the eggs.
Pour the mix into a pan and bake it at 160 degrees until it get over cooked in a water bath.
For the cake, we will start by beating the eggs, sugar and honey together until it gets pale and foamy( Ribbon Consistency).
To this we will fold in the dry ingredients, followed by the mango puree. Pour this over the baked crumble and bake it for another 40 mins at 160 degrees.
Once it is baked, set the cake in the fridge to cool. Meanwhile take the baked brulee and churn it into a smooth paste in a mixer.
Pour the brulee onto the cooled cake and level it flat. Set the tin into the freezer until the brulee sets and gets firm on to the cake.
Carefully DE-mold the cake and and garish with cut mango's and sliced almonds
slice it up and relish the combination of the flavors.
