Mango Cake Ingredients
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 3 large eggs (room temperature)
- ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
- ½ cup whole milk
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch round cake pan to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and granulated sugar until they are well combined and aerated for a light texture.
- Cream butter and eggs: In a separate large bowl, cream the melted unsalted butter with the sugar until fluffy. Then, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to create a smooth, homogenous mixture.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the creamed butter and eggs, alternating with the whole milk. Mix gently to maintain the batter’s lightness.
- Fold in mango: Carefully fold in the chopped ripe mango pieces, ensuring even distribution without overmixing which can toughen the batter.
- Bake the cake: Pour the prepared batter into the greased cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the cake is fully cooked.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cake to cool for a few minutes in the pan before transferring it onto a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Ensure mangoes are ripe for optimal sweetness and softness in the cake.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake light and tender.
- You can substitute whole milk with almond or soy milk for a dairy-free version, but it may alter the texture slightly.
- Use room temperature eggs to help blend ingredients smoothly.
- Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
