Mix the Cheesecake Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, beating until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream, heavy cream, and mango puree until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
Bake the Cheesecake:
Pour the cheesecake batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the center is set and the edges are slightly golden. Let the cheesecake cool completely in the pan, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Instructions
Prepare the Cake Layers:
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Mix the Cake Batter:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vegetable oil and vanilla extract.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
Swirl in the Mango Puree:
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans. Dollop the mango puree on top of the batter in each pan and use a knife to gently swirl it through the batter.
Bake the Cake Layers:
Bake the cake layers for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Assemble the Cake:
Layer the Cake:
Once the cheesecake is fully chilled and the cake layers are completely cool, place one cake layer on a serving plate. Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and place it on top of the first cake layer. Top with the second cake layer.
Frost the Cake:
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract and mango puree until smooth and well combined. Spread a thin layer of frosting over the entire cake as a crumb coat and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Apply a thicker layer of frosting to cover the cake completely.
Garnish and Serve:
Decorate the cake with fresh mango slices and mint leaves if desired. Slice and enjoy this tropical Mango Cheesecake Cake with its creamy layers and fruity mango flavors!
