Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Whisk egg yolks and sugar until pale and creamy. Mix in oil, milk, vanilla, and yuzu powder until smooth.
  2. In a separate bowl, whip egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Fold whipped egg whites into yolk mixture gently, then fold in cake flour until just combined.
  4. Pour batter into a quarter sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 12 minutes or until lightly golden.
  5. Let cool for 5-10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Cut out four rounds from the cake using a 4-inch cutter.
  7. Layer one cake round with chantilly cream and slices of mango. Repeat with remaining rounds, finishing with cream.
  8. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
