Method
- Peel and slice the bananas. Toss them with 2 tbsp of lime juice.
- Peel and cut mangoes into 2 cm cubes.
- Make a rectangular cut at the under side of the cake without cutting through the top.
- Scoop out the cake crumbs through that cut to make a hollow in the cake.
- Mash the crumbs with 2-3 tbsp cream. Chop 1/2 the banana slices into pieces.
- Mix them with some of the mango pieces and add to the mashed crumbs.
- Fill the hollow in the cake with this mixture.
- Place the cake, top side up on a serving plate. Prick all over with a fork.
- Sprinkle with mango juice. (Flavour the juice with rum or brandy if desired.)
- Whip the remaining cream and sweeten to taste with icing sugar.
- Decorate the top of the cake with cream, banana slices and mango pieces. Serve chilled.
