Mango Dream Cake

In this Instructable, I will show you how to make Mango & Dream Cake. This cake is a sweet treat that is loved across the Hawaiian Islands. Typically prepared and served for traditional luaus, it’s a soft and flavor filled moist cake. I have a personal connection with this dessert. Last year I was able to live in Hawai’i and the downtown was filled with little local bakery shops. I instantly loved the treat and started to consume a lot of traditional goodies. Since I have been back I have been driven to make the sweet treat!
