Mango Cake

Mango cake or mango rice paper is a famous specialty of Nha Trang in general and Cam Ranh in particular, has a sour, medium-sweet taste, with a subtle natural aroma of mango, very suitable for eating and drinking.

The way to make this dish is not too complicated. Ripe mangoes are washed, peeled, and seeded, while the mango flesh is softened into a thick mixture. Then put the mixture on the stove, add a little sugar water, crushed fresh ginger, continuously stir for about three hours until it boils and thickens. Next is the step of coating the cake, which must be skillful so that the cake pieces are even and thin. Some people put a thin piece of rice paper underneath and then scoop the mango mixture on top so that the mango layer is about twice as thick as the rice paper.

Next, people leave it out in the sun for two to three days to dry it. The mango cake does not need to be dry and crispy, it just needs to be dried until it is firm, the surface is dry, it is not sticky to the touch, and the cake can be lifted up.
