Mango Marshmallow Cake



This is what I had tried making today, mango marshmallow cake! Very nice & sweet cake, esp for people like me with a sweet tooth! Made a few mistakes on the way but lucky still taste good & edible (for me only lah!). Heehee...

Pls check below for recipe & my comments on it!

Recipe (Quoted: Cranberry)

Ingredients
(A) Base:
200g digestive biscuits
80g melted butter

(B) Marshmallow filling:
10 pcs of marshmallow
300ml of HL milk
80 ml of diary whip cream
150 gm Mango Puree
8 pcs of gelatine leafs (or substitute w 2 tsp of gelatine powder)
80g sugar

(C) Gelatine Topping:
6 pcs of gelatine leafs
200 ml of water
4 tbsp sugar

Method
(A) Crushed digestive biscuits and mix well with melted butter. Press into a 8” or 9" square or round cake ring. Refrigerate for later use.

(B) Put all the ingredients into a pot. Double boil over small fire until gelatine leafs, marshmallow and sugar are dissolved.

(C) Boil all ingredients until dissolved.

Assembling the cake
Pour marshmallow filling (B) into the prepared baking tin with biscuit base (A). Put in freezer until slightly harden but not totally frozen. Take it out and arrange sliced fresh mangoes. Put it back to freezer to harden a little. When slightly harden take it out and pour the slightly cool Gelatine (C) on it. Put in fridge to chill. Cut and serve.

My comments for this bake:
Generally this is not a difficult recipe. Every step is vv simple but how come I can still make mistakes??? :(

1) Okie, I had decided to do a smaller cake for testing purposes so I divide the recipe into half (so all ingredients above are supposed to be 1/2). But I forgot to half the mango puree (b) & water (c)... OMG! SO I think that's y the marshmallow layer is so soft (b) & no wonder the gelatine mixture din hardened when waiting for it to cool down (c) ;(

2) The lower 2 layers (base & marshmallow) dun stick together, they fell off once cut!

3) Base is too thin, the marshmallow layer covered it... *FAINT*
