Scale

- 1/3 cup Powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 Egg, room temperature
- 1 tsp Vanilla bean paste
- 1/3 cup All-purpose flour, sifted
- Pinch of salt
- 1 1/4 cups Mango puree
- 1/3 cup Granulated sugar
- 7 Gelatin sheets (equal to 12g gelatin)
- 1 1/6 cups Thick Greek or Turkish yogurt
- 1 cup Heavy cream, very cold
- 1 tbsp Reduced mango puree
- 1/6 cup Mascarpone
- 1/3 cup Cream cheese
- 1/6 cup Powdered sugar, sifted

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 356°F (180°C) and grease a 7-inch round cake pan.
- In a mixing bowl, whip the butter and powdered sugar until pale and fluffy. Gradually add the egg and vanilla bean paste, then sift in the flour and salt, folding until just combined.
- Pour the mixture into the pan and bake for 10-15 minutes. Let cool completely.
- Soak the gelatin sheets in cold water. In a saucepan, heat the mango puree and granulated sugar until simmering, then dissolve the gelatin sheets in the mixture.
- Once cooled, whisk in the yogurt and fold in the whipped heavy cream gently.
- Set up a mousse cake ring and place the sponge layer at the bottom. Pour the mango mousse over the sponge and chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours until set.
- Once set, carefully remove the ring. Whip together the mascarpone, cream cheese, and powdered sugar until fluffy to decorate the cake.
- Top with fresh mango chunks and mint leaves for a refreshing touch.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
