If you're a fan of all things mango flavored, this limited time mango cake from Starbucks is a fabulous option to try. One thing I really love about it is that it's a lighter-feeling option, since the bulk of the cake is a mango flavored mousse. It also consists of mango pieces, a mango flavored sauce, and a pie style crust. As you can see, it really packs in the mango taste in several ways. It's satisfying for any sweet tooth but won't leave you feeling heavy. I think the layered style look also makes it quite a visually appealing cake, which is always a nice thing!

Obviously, one key downside with any seasonal offering is that it's only around for a very limited window. If you find yourself really enjoying this, it's going to disappear as quickly as it appeared. Also, I do think it's on the pricier side for a cake slice, but to be honest that seems the case with most things these days. Overall, if you like mango flavored things and you're looking for a lighter feeling sweet treat, I would still say its worth trying out at least once. Happy eating, and I hope you enjoy it! :)
