This mango and banana cake has been perfected.

We can dress it up with a glaze or our own locally made crème fraîche or other yummy accessory to make it fit for purpose for any occasion.

A trusted “heart smart” recipe was used to create this most useful cake.

Whether for snacking (along side a barista coffee) or diving into when sitting atop of silky creamy bed as a dessert during Dinner with the Stars events, this cake is a winner.

It ticks the key boxes – tasty, low calories and developed by the Heart Foundation.
