How to Make Mango Banana Surprise

• 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 underside of the cake without cutting through the top.

• 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.
