Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line three 6-inch cake pans with parchment paper.
- Sift together the cake flour and baking powder in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
- Whip egg whites in a separate bowl until frothy, then gradually add 1/3 of the sugar and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
- In another bowl, whip egg yolks with remaining sugar, salt, milk, and vanilla until creamy and fluffy.
- Gently fold dry ingredients into egg yolk mixture, then carefully add meringue in three parts, folding gently.
- Divide batter among prepared pans and bake for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow cakes to cool in pans for 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Beat heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar until medium-stiff peaks form and chill until ready.
- Layer cooled chiffon cakes with whipped cream and fresh mango chunks.
- Apply a thin crumb coat of whipped cream and chill for 15-20 minutes before adding a final layer of whipped cream.
- Refrigerate assembled cake for 1-2 hours before serving for best results.

Notes
For best results, use room temperature eggs and gently fold to prevent deflation. Chill for enhanced flavor and easier slicing.
