    Thank you to all the immensely helpful commenters that helped me to be able to give this recipe 5 stars. I chose to keep all the sugar for the cake b/c of its size. For the topping, however, I only used 1/4 cup. Once on the cake, it is the perfect sweetness. The fresh champagne mangos I used were so ripe, no water was required for the topping. I do not own a bundt pan so I put 2/3 of the batter in a 9x13" pan and the last third in a loaf pan. They baked at the same time (for 30 mins. and came out beautifully. Even though I really do not care for mangos, this dessert is so wonderful. I should say I did not use any liquor since it was for a family dessert. Will absolutely make again!

    The cake itself was delicious. It took an hour in my oven. I took into account the previous reviews about the topping being watery and overly sweet. I used frozen mango, which I let thaw in a strainer over a bowl, giving it a stir every once in awhile. I used 2 tbsps of the liquid that drained out instead of water and only 1/4 cup plus 2 tbsps sugar. It turned out with the perfect consistency. It does not harden once on the cake like a glaze. I wasn't crazy about the topping, but I don't really like mangoes. Made this recipe for my son who requested a mango cake and he loved all of it, as did the rest of my family.

    I prepared this cake yesterday and it was not good at all. I had to make it twice since the first time I used a silicone pan and after 45 minutes just the edges were cooked, the center was completely liquid. I assumed it was because the pan so I made it again in a regular pan and the same thing happened. It was 55 minutes in the oven. At the end the cake was dense, heavy and not pleasant. The mango topping was delicious!!!. I will keep the recipe for the topping but I won't make this cake again. I checked the preparation process over and over because I don't understand why my cake didn't work when it seems to be delicious for so many people. Well, I consider myself an excellent baker but this is definitely not a good cake for me. Sorry Marcela.

    When I made this cake over a year ago my men-folk thought it was one of the best cakes they ever tasted. Then when my Godson said this cake was all he wanted for his Birthday this year, it had to be pretty good for it to be still on his mind. Guess what he is getting for his birthday . . gotta go buy cake flour!

    In the video she says 1/4 cup of sugar and more as needed. Sadly, the recipe says 1 1/4 cup of sugar. The frosting was WAY too sweet. Second time it came out perfectly. I ended up using more than 1/4 cup but MUCH less than 1 1/4. Please fix that error. Regardless, I rated the recipe based on her show and not the website. Wonderful cake AND frosting! As usual, Marcela does not disappoint!

    This cake is very good and easy to make. My whole family enjoyed it and I'll definitely make it again. I did use less sugar though. For the cake itself I used 1 1/2 cup sugar and for the topping I only used maybe 1/4 cup. It was still plenty sweet. I used frozen thawed mango, and I didn't need to add any water to it at all.
