Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line the bottom of a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan with parchment paper.
Sift together the all-purpose flour and cornstarch into a small bowl. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer for about 5 minutes until the mixture is thick and pale. The batter should form a thick ribbon when lifted.
Gently fold the sifted flour mixture into the egg mixture using a spatula, taking care not to deflate the eggs.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter with the milk. Add vanilla extract. Gently fold this mixture into the batter until well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 15 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the cake springs back when touched.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
For the mousse, soak the gelatin sheets in cold water for about 5 minutes or until softened.
Heat 100 g of the mango puree in a small saucepan over low heat. Squeeze excess water from the gelatin sheets and stir them into the warm mango puree until completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
Fold the remaining mango puree into the whipped cream, followed by the gelatin-mango mixture. Mix gently until incorporated.
Pour the mango mousse over the cooled cake base in the springform pan. Smooth the top and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
For the glaze, soak the remaining gelatin sheet in cold water until softened.
In a small saucepan, heat the mango juice and water. Squeeze excess water from the gelatin and add to the saucepan, stirring to dissolve.
Let the glaze cool slightly before gently pouring it over the set mousse layer. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until the glaze is firm.
Run a knife around the edge of the springform pan to release the cake. Remove the side of the pan and transfer the cake to a serving platter.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your refreshing Mango Mousse Cake!
