Directions:

  7. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. For the mango frosting, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until smooth.
  11. Add the mango puree and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. If using, add a few drops of yellow food coloring.
