Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a tube pan generously with oil.
2
In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites on high speed for about 3 minutes until they form stiff peaks and resemble whipped cream. Set aside carefully.

In a separate large bowl, beat the egg yolks together with the brown sugar, salt, oil, coconut milk, and coconut extract until well combined and smooth.
4
Gradually add the baking powder followed by the all-purpose flour, mixing until just blended. Be careful not to over mix.
5
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture in three additions, being cautious to maintain the airy texture. The mixture should be fluffy but completely mixed.
6
Pour the batter into the prepared tube pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
7
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8
While the cake is baking, prepare the mango sauce by adding the cubed mangoes, coconut milk, brown sugar, coconut extract, and vanilla extract into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and set aside.
9
Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly in the pan before transferring it to a serving plate.

Before serving, gently warm the mango sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
