Mango Mousse Cake （芒果慕斯蛋糕）

自从自己会做蛋糕以后，就很少在外面买蛋糕来吃了。只是有时在蛋糕店或café的橱窗望一望，看看有什么蛋糕比较吸引的可以偷偷点子。那天心血来潮，在“D” Cafe喝咖啡时，叫老公order一个巧克力慕斯蛋糕给我试试看。蛋糕第一口咬下去，我问老公有order错吗？这个是mud cake还是mousse cake。老公说只有一种巧克力蛋糕排在那里嘛！没有错啊。。。我不甘心，即刻打开menu检视一下，果然餐牌里的巧克力慕斯蛋糕和摆在我面前的是一模一样的，只是照片里的蛋糕好像比较完美和柔软，而在我的面前的是一个硬蹦蹦一块类似mud cake的mousse cake。因为付了6。95（马币21块钱一片糕，心痛到要命），所以只好乱乱吃了一点就算。很生气，即刻去超市买了材料回家立志自己做一个慕斯蛋糕。芒果慕斯蛋糕一直都在我的to do list里面的，正是芒果季节，还等什么，就是它了  －  期待已久 的芒果慕斯蛋糕。

翻查了很多家，忽然看到All That Matters家的芒果慕斯蛋糕做得很美，所以决定用了她的食谱。不只是好看，食谱也是我觉得很赞的哟！

Recipe adapted from :All That Matters

* to remove the cake from the tin, i used a hot towel to wrap around the cake tin until u can see the top jelly started to loosen from the mould.

蛋糕就算不刻意装饰，简简单单的亮面，我也觉得挺好看的！
