Mango Cake Recipe
Mango cake is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with a soft and fluffy sponge cake that is flavored with mango puree and topped with a sweet and creamy mango frosting. Mango cake is a popular dessert in many countries, including India, Pakistan, and the Philippines.
Ingredients
- 1 cup 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup 113 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup 100 grams granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup 100 grams mango puree
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon mango essence or vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour an 8x4 inch loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the mango puree, eggs, and mango essence or vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a richer mango flavor, use homemade mango puree. To make mango puree, simply peel, pit, and blend fresh mangos in a blender until smooth.
- If you don't have mango essence, you can use vanilla extract instead.
- To prevent the cake from sticking to the pan, be sure to grease and flour it well.
- Don't overbake the cake, or it will be dry.
- I hope this makes the recipe easier to understand and follow. Enjoy!
