CAKE
  1. Separate the egg yolks and whites. Leave whites in the fridge, and mix with the mixer your egg yolks with coconut oil (not melted, about the consistency of butter) until smooth and fluffy. Then add the milk, salt, coconut flour, desiccated coconut and baking powder and blend thoroughly. Now in a separate bowl whisk egg whites with sugar until stiff, shiny and fluffy and gently stir it with a spoon to a previously mixed dough. Pour finished cake batter into 2 lined with baking paper cake tins (21cm) and bake at 185C for about 30/35 minutes or until toothpink comes out clean. When baked and cooled cut each of the cakes into 2 layers, to end up with 4 layers.
MILLET MANGO CREAM
  1. Pour 3 cups of water (less than a liter) into millet groats and cook over low heat for about 23-25 ​​minutes until completely overcooked. Groat at the end of cooking will stick to the bottom of the pot, but do not add water. It is very important that the liquid is reduced, this process is necessary for the cream to thicken properly.
  2. While millet groats are cooking, peel your mangos, cut into pieces and put into a small pot. Add the juice of 2 lemons, vanilla extract and add the cane sugar. Cook over low heat until sugar is dissolved, mango overcooked and the liquid is reduced to half.
  3. When the millet groats are already cooked and still hot, add to them the thick mango paste, coconut oil, desiccated coconut and salt. Now blend everything very carefully on a thick cream. This may take some time but do not give up. The longer you blend, the better cream you get. After obtaining a creamy texture set aside to coold down and thicken up a bit.
