Would it be alright to use milk substitutes (such as almond milk) for this recipe? Also, if I wanted to add mango puree to make the sponge cake flavoured what measurement would you recommend? 😋

[@leilanaghavi5560]

Wow!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤

[@a191015]

I like to try to make it👍

[@kpoang]

Thanks for the recipe. I tried to make this cake for my birthday. The sponge cake looked good in the oven, but it deflated after I took it out soon. Therefore I ended up making a Mango Mousse Cake. It still looked pretty and delicious. I believe the problem came from the oven. I wasn't using my convention oven, I used my smart Cuisinart Steam and Convection Oven. I will test the accuracy of my convention oven before my next attempt. Thanks again.

[@meilimiller5200]

Yes mine too, I use conventional oven and the cake still deflated, so I can’t make the cake tall enough. Not sure why:(

[@karenf2593]

This mango cake brings back so many happy memories 😊

[@winneh]

I’ve made this many times and it’s always a hit! How would you adjust to make a 9 inch cake?

[@tigggy123]

Thanks for the recipe! I'm going to make this cake soon. Question, is there a reason why 1/3 of the egg white is whisked into the batter? Why not just fold it in like the rest of it to keep all the air bubbles?

I bake this cake and is delicious. But how can I make the frosting don't have too strong milk taste?

[@MorningGlory600]

Hi there, thank you for sharing the recipe, I made this cake for the family and they all loved it! Can I ask how much I need to reduce the ingredients by for a 6 or 7 inch smaller version?

[@jamieleeapigo6422]

how many cups of oil, flour, milk, and sugar should i use? currently in the process of making this but i’m unsure of the measurements

[@JustatoPotato]

So happy I found this! My boyfriend loves mango cakes so I’m going to attempt to make it for his birthday! Just a quick question, is it good to keep in the fridge once made overnight??? Just wondering how long it could be kept for! :)

[@sherrrlen]

Hi there! It will! I always make it the night before, however the mangos will develop a bit of moisture overnight but if that doesn’t bug you much, feel free to make it the night before! :)

[@JustatoPotato]

@@sherrrlen thank you so much for getting back so quick!!! Will do!!! 😊

[@Isobelleung]

Hi Sherlen I just made this cake for my husband's Birthday , Is turn out great Thank you for sharing this recipe , one thing , We can't get Heavy cream in Canada. I'd like to know how to make the whipping cream a bit stiffer for decorating the cake.

[@sherrrlen]

Isobelleung hi Isobel! I’m glad it turned out great! 😊 heavy cream is also known as “whipping cream” here in Canada, as long as it is 33% milk fat then it’s good! To make it more stiff, make sure that the cream and mixing bowl are both very cold. Sometimes I like to put my mixing bowl in the fridge before I add in the cream, then keep on whipping it longer (stand/hand mixer) until it is very stiff! It should stay stiff as long as it’s kept in the fridge before serving! I hope this helps! 🤗

[@erikdo816]

Thank you so much for the recipe! I made it yesterday and it's delicious. However, my pan is 6.5" which is smaller than your pan. Can I use 4 eggs and reduce other ingredients to 80 percent of the original to make the sponge cake?

[@sherrrlen]

I’ve only ever had a 6 inch cake pan. For 6 inch I always use 3 eggs and adjust, I’ve never tried 6.5! But maybe 4 eggs would work as long as your pan height is tall enough too. Hope this helps!

[@erikdo816]

@@sherrrlen Thanks Sherlen:)

[@traycex]

do you think it’ll be best to make the sponge a day early just to let it rest? I find ít necessary bc whenever I make these cakes, the cream will just run maybe from the sponge not being cooled enough. &great video thank you! 🧡

[@sherrrlen]

U can definitely do that! I do that sometimes if running short on time to do the entire cake all in one day. Just make sure to let it fully cool down out of the pan on a wire rack before wrapping it in plastic wrap overnight! :)

[@millie9361]

Hi! Can I make my own cake flour with flour and corn starch? Also can I substitute parchment paper with butter and flour for dusting?

[@sherrrlen]

april yes you can make your own cake flour using both! I’m pretty sure you can grease with butter and flour but I have only ever used parchment paper for my cake ☺️

[@sookwah7392]

Hi, May I ask your recipe is for 1/2kg or 1kg cake?

[@muichiroshoplessother]

I'm using this recipe rn and I want to ask can you steam this cake instead of baking it?

[@SY-vw7oe]

Hi, what is the hot water container for again? I couldn't catch it in the video sorry. thanks

[@uhavemooface]

Is this traditionally Chinese the way they do it in China or just your way of making this? I don't know if I have ever had a Chinese cake. They look so good. I seen a bunch of pictures of them. I have had sponge cake though.

[@tiffanynguyen2845]

Amazing video with really easy recipe. Question: I typically see people add butter to their cake but I don't see butter here, any reasons why you don't add butter?

[@sherrrlen]

Hi Tiffany! Great question, the reason why I don’t use butter is because I use oil as the fat ingredient instead. Oil in sponge cakes tend to make the cake lighter in texture whereas butter makes it a bit heavier/dense! 🤗

[@tiffanynguyen2845]

Thank you! Another question is when I baked at 300F for 50-55 min the cake wasn't completely baked, I increased to 75 min and it came out a little deflated after a while. Do you know how I can fix this?

[@sherrrlen]

Sponge cakes can be pretty tricky! Assuming your pan size and oven temp are correct, I think a lot has to do with the egg whites consistency and folding it in with the batter. You want to make sure you beat the egg whites so that it’s not too runny but not too stiff, and folding the batter gently is important too! Another thing is to make sure not to opening the oven during the baking process. Lastly, sponge cakes shouldn’t deflated too much but will always shrink just a tiny bit in size after it comes out of the oven. If it shrinks a LOT then the cake is underbaked!

[@vareena3834]

I have a question if I don’t have a machine to whisk the egg whites can I do it in a blender like in a smoothie blender or the big blender ?? Please If you could reply I’m Making it tomorrow!! 😄

[@sherrrlen]

Hello! I’ve never tried it before but I just searched it up and I think a blender would work, sorry :( you can maybe try whipping the egg whites one at a time bu hand but it will definitely take a longer time! Just make sure there are no egg yolk drips or any oil/grease in your egg whites, bowl and whisk 😊

[@Nancyswerner]

Hi, Just wondering...is it ok to use a non stick cake pan? (I saw in another recipe that you couldn’t use a non stick pan because the cake wouldn’t rise without the regular pans sides to adhere to.) Also do you line both the sides and bottom with parchment paper or just the bottom? Thank you!

Hi. What type of can pan is this? Thanks

[@nancychen5992]

Could you lessen the sugar on this? Would the result be the same? I was thinking of halving the sugar with a 6 in cake.

[@sherrrlen]

Hi Nancy! Sorry for the late reply, I haven’t tried it with less sugar however this cake is not too sweet already :)

[@buttercupdove88]

Did you add a stabilizer to your whipped cream? My whipped cream always looks softer than this.

[@kandyestepho807]

Hi there I just made this cake and my cake didn’t rise at all. Did you use self rising cake flour? Or did you add baking powder separately? Can you please let me know since I need to make it again tomorrow for an event.

[@sherrrlen]

Hi Kandy, none of those were used or added. Everything is listed in the description box and video. This cake has the simplest ingredients but it’s all about technique! Whipping the egg whites to soft/medium peaks and gently folding it together along with not over mixing, and baking in the oven at 300°F without opening the door til after 55 mins!

[@kandyestepho807]

@@sherrrlen thank you so much. I’ll try now again. Also, my pan is bigger than 8”. Will that effect the result?

[@sherrrlen]

@@kandyestepho807 it would! The recipe is suited specifically for an 8 inch cake pan to help its rise. If it were 6 inch, the recipe would be adjusted to 3 eggs. The pan should also have at least 3 inch height

Great recipe! Might make it for my sister’s birthday. Question, if I put it in the fridge overnight, will the whipped cream like melt?

No it will not melt if kept in the fridge :) just make sure you whip the cream well enough so that it holds up well!

@@sherrrlen Sorry to bother you again but I have on more question, how will I know when the whipped cream is perfect? I don’t want it to turn into butter but I’m afraid I might only get it to stiff peaks and it will melt. Is there any tests I can do? Also I subbed 😘

[@sherrrlen]

@@andreathehamsterowner5096 for this cake, since you’re covering it with mangos, it won’t really be a problem to overwhip the cream. But usually it’s ready once the cream doesn’t slide around the bowl / off the mixer.

What is the vanilla and cream?

[@joycetan8561]

Can i do without the water tray and bake the batter directly pls? If so wat would be the temp n length pls. Thanks

[@adah8582]

If I'm using a 6" pan how would I change the recipe?

[@sherrrlen]

Ada H hi Ada! If you’re downsizing to one 6” cake pan, you can multiply the ingredients by 0.6 (you’ll be using 3 eggs total), just make sure your cake pan is around 3 inches in height! You might also want to adjust the baking time/keep an eye on it. Hope this helps! 😊
