Mexican Party Desserts - How To Make A yummy Mango Cake

Mangoes, avocados, star fruit, those are just a few of the fruits we think of in Mexican dishes. But hardly whatever thinks of whatever but a tres leches cake when South of the Border baking is considered.

Why not use mangoes? They are one of the most popular fruits, they are facilely available, and when ripe, totally delicious. (A word of caution about mangoes though. Before committing one to a recipe, taste it. For some presuppose known only to the Mayan and Aztec deities who like to play tricks on those who have co-opted their culture, one fruit in twenty will have a distinct kerosene flavor. You cannot tell it by sniffing, only by tasting. Rather than ruin a dessert by using funky fruit, it is worth the few extra seconds to take a bite of each one).

Food And Dessert
