3.Meanwhile, blend or process one mango until smooth; slice second mango thickly. Spoon soft jelly mixture over sponge cake, top with mango puree.
4.For the lemon chiffon, beat all four egg yolks, sugar and rind in a small bowl with an electric mixer until thick and creamy. Add gelatine to the boiling water, stir until dissolved; stir in juice. Pour hot lemon mixture over the egg mixture; beat until combined. Beat egg whites in a clean small bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form; add extra sugar gradually, beating until dissolved between additions. Fold egg white mixture through lemon mixture in 2 batches, then gently fold in cream.
