This cake has several steps to it which may put you off but grab a friend or a family member to split the work with and it will finish quickly.
Inside the cake is mango mousse and raspberry gelatin filling so in total 3 items to make.
This recipe is enough for an 18 cm (round) x 16 cm (high) ring which generously serves 8 people.
First step is to make the raspberry gelatin filling. I used a 15 cm (round) x 5 cm (high) ring for this.
