Two lists so everyone knows their job — grown-ups handle heat and blades, little hands do the fun bits.

Full detailed method
  1. 1Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  2. 2In another bowl whisk sugar, oil, mango pulp, milk, vanilla and lemon juice.
  3. 3Fold wet into dry. Divide between 12 lined cases.
  4. 4Bake at 175°C for 18–20 mins until a skewer comes out clean. Cool fully.
  5. 5Make the mango buttercream — start with the butter on its own: put the softened butter in a large bowl. Using an electric hand whisk, or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat on medium-high for 4–5 minutes, scraping the bowl once or twice, until almost white, whipped and airy. Only with a hand whisk (no electric)? Beat vigorously for 6–8 minutes.
  6. 6On the lowest speed, add the icing sugar a heaped spoonful at a time. Once combined, add the thick mango pulp (must be really thick — thin pulp will loosen the frosting too much) and beat back on medium-high for 3–4 minutes until pale, fluffy and silky. If it slackens, chill 15 minutes before piping. Pipe swirls with a large star nozzle and top with mango cubes.
