Making the Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare three 6-inch cake pans by lining with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the cake flour and baking powder. Set aside.
- Beat the egg whites until foamy, add cream of tartar, then gradually sprinkle in 1/3 of the sugar while beating until stiff peaks form.
- In another bowl, beat the egg yolks with remaining sugar, salt, milk, and vanilla extract until pale and fluffy.
- Fold the sifted dry ingredients into the egg yolk mixture and then drizzle in the vegetable oil, mixing until smooth.
- Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture in three additions.
- Divide batter among cake pans, filling each two-thirds full. Bake for 20-22 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool cakes in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare whipped cream by beating heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar until medium-stiff peaks form.
- To assemble, layer whipped cream and fresh mango chunks between the cake layers.
- Apply a thin crumb coat of whipped cream around the cake and chill for 15 minutes.
- Finish with a thick layer of whipped cream and chill for 1-2 hours before serving.

Notes
Ensure eggs are at room temperature for best meringue results. Gently fold in meringue to retain airiness.
