Mango Coconut Lava Sponge Cake
There’s something about mango and coconut that instantly feels like sunshine.
And this dessert captures it perfectly.
A soft, fluffy sponge cake with a warm, creamy mango-coconut center that gently flows out with every spoonful. Light, airy, and just rich enough to feel indulgent without being heavy.
What you’ll need
For the sponge:
• 3 eggs
• ½ cup sugar
• ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ¼ cup milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the lava center:
• 1 cup mango puree
• ½ cup coconut cream
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp cornstarch (optional, for thickness)
How it comes together
In a bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the milk and vanilla, then gently fold in the flour and baking powder.
Pour half of the batter into a lined baking dish.
In another bowl, mix the mango puree with coconut cream and sugar until smooth.
Spoon small amounts of the mango-coconut mixture into the center.
Cover gently with the remaining batter.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 20–25 minutes until lightly golden and soft.
The best part
Scoop into it while it’s still warm.
The mango-coconut center flows softly into the sponge, creating a smooth, creamy bite that feels fresh, light, and slightly tropical.
