Ingredients

Units Scale
For the vanilla cake:
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk
For the peach and mango sauce:
  • 2 ripe peaches, peeled and diced
  • 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on sweetness of the fruits)
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven and prepare the pan (10 minutes): Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch cake pan, or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Cream butter and sugar (5 minutes): In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla (5 minutes): Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Combine dry ingredients (5 minutes): In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Mix dry and wet ingredients (5 minutes): Alternately add the dry ingredients and milk to the creamed mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined.
  6. Bake the cake (30 minutes): Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  7. Prepare the fruit sauce (10 minutes): While the cake is baking, combine the diced peaches, mangoes, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the fruits are soft and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 10 minutes. Allow to cool.
  8. Cool the cake (20 minutes): Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Serve (5 minutes): Once the cake is completely cool, spoon the fresh peach and mango sauce over the top, ensuring to distribute some chunks of fruit with the sauce.

Notes

This cake e is best served immediately after topping to ensure the cake absorbs some of the sauce’s flavors without becoming soggy.

For a more decorative presentation, reserve some fresh peach and mango slices to arrange on top along with the sauce.

If desired, a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream can also complement this dessert beautifully. Enjoy!
