Steps:
- In a heavy saucepan, stir together the milk and 1/4 cup of sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and egg. Stir together the remaining sugar and cornstarch; then stir them into the egg until smooth. When the milk comes to a boil, drizzle it into the bowl in a thin stream while mixing so that you do not cook the eggs. Return the mixture to the saucepan, and slowly bring to a boil, stirring constantly so the eggs don' t curdle or scorch on the bottom.
- When the mixture comes to a boil and thickens, remove from the heat. Stir in the butter and vanilla, mixing until the butter is completely blended in. Pour into a heat-proof container and place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until chilled before using.

Steps:
- Using the tip of a paring knife, cut a circle into top of cake, leaving a 1/4-inch border and stopping about 1/3 inch from the cake's bottom. Insert a long slicing knife into edge of cake 1/3 inch from bottom, as if splitting the cake into two layers; instead of actually splitting the cake, only make that single incision and carefully move the knife blade within the cake to loosen the center. Repeat on opposite side. Use an offset spatula to lift out the center, leaving a shell for filling. Reserve cake center for another use.
- Brush shell with simple syrup. Spread pastry cream on bottom. Refrigerate until cold, 1 hour. To serve, arrange pineapple and mango on top of pastry cream.
