Ingredients

For the cake:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup plain yogurt, at room temperature
2 cups diced fresh mango

For the mirror glaze:

2/3 cup condensed milk
1/2 cup glucose syrup
1/3 cup light corn syrup
3 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon gelatin powder
2 to 3 tablespoons mango puree
1 teaspoon citric acid
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons butter

For the cream cheese frosting:

4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Making the Cake:

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla and beat until combined.

Reduce the speed to low and add the dry ingredients in three additions, alternating with the yogurt, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients and beating until just combined. Fold in the diced mango. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and spread evenly.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Let cool completely before frosting and glazing.

Making the Mirror Glaze:

In a medium saucepan, combine the condensed milk, glucose syrup, corn syrup, and water. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.

In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 2 tablespoons of cold water. Let sit for 5 minutes. Add the gelatin mixture to the saucepan and stir until completely dissolved. Add the mango puree, citric acid, and vanilla and stir until combined. Stir in the butter until melted.

Pour the glaze into a heatproof bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until thickened and cooled, about 2 hours.

Making the Cream Cheese Frosting:

Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and butter on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating until combined. Add the vanilla, cream, and salt and beat until combined.

Assembling the Cake:

Place one layer of the cake on a cake stand. Spread a layer of cream cheese frosting over the top. Top with the remaining cake layer.

Pour the cooled glaze over the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Refrigerate for 15 minutes before serving.
