Strawberry and Mango Shortcake

I can’t get enough of the strawberries so I went to make the another quick strawberry recipe on that same day that I made that Strawberry and Mango Banana Cake. I would like to believe what I did was a shortcake. Lol. It’s really an easy one to make as I got the cake from the bakeshop so I totally saved a lot of time! Lol.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup Strawberries (sliced)
• 1/4 cup Ripe Mango (sliced)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• Any kind of chocolate shavings (i used truffles)
• 1 Custard cake (cut in half crosswise)

Method:

1. Melt the chocolate (How to melt chocolate: http://www.wikihow.com/Melt-Chocolate). Set aside.

2. Beat the cream and carefully add the melted chocolate. Set aside.

3. Place the bottom cake on a clean plate. Scoop a spoonful of cream and spread. Place the strawberries and mango slices. Scoop another spoonful of cream and place it on top of the fruits.

4. Place the other half of the cake on top of the fruits. This time you may add all the fruits left. It’s up to you how you want to decorate it! Lol.

Enjoy!

By the way, the shortcake I made happened to be Mom’s post birthday cake. Lol. I placed a candle and sang happy birthday to her! lol.

Strawberry and Mango Banana Cake

We came across this vendor selling strawberries on the street. I had to buy some and make a summer dessert for this really scorching hot weather. Lol. Mangoes are in season too! Perfect!

I went to this bakeshop and bought a banana loaf and custard cake. While buying, a lot of things or ideas were going through my head already on how I’m going to make it work with my fruits! Lol.

It’s a perfect dessert or snack you can share with your friends. And you can do it in just 20 minutes or less. No bake and all! Lol.

Ingredients:

• 3 slices of banana loaf
• 1 cup strawberries (sliced)
• 1 ripe mango (thinly sliced)
• 250ml cream (chilled)
• 1/4 cup white sugar

Method:

1. In a large bowl combine sugar and chilled cream. Beat until smooth. Set aside.

2. Place the first loaf in a clean plate. Spread a spoonful of cream on top of the loaf. Place mango slices.

3. Place the second loaf on top of the mango. Spread a spoonful of cream on top of the loaf. Add in as many strawberries you like. You may add another scoop of cream on top of the strawberries if you like.

4. Place the last loaf on top of the strawberries. Top it with a few strawberries and mangoes. Serve.

Enjoy!
