Hi Supermoms,
Mangoes are in season and recently I picked up large quantities of farm fresh Safeda mangoes. Apart from enjoying them as is and as milk shakes, I also wanted to make a cake. So baked this simple, yet soft and yummy mango cake today. As there were many requests for this recipe, I am sharing it immediately so that you can try it before the end of the mango season.
However, you can make the cake using the canned mango pulp too. Adjust the sugar according to the sweetness of the mangoes. Also, you can bake this cake in microwave or pressure cooker also. The baking time will differ according to the type of microwave you use. If making in cooker, you can steam the cake without the whistle and check after 15 minutes by inserting a toothpick in the centre of the cake. Cook till it comes out clean .
You can use two similar size pans and bake two cakes. Whip some fresh cream and layer the cakes. Top them with chopped mangoes and colourful berries. Sounds delicious? It is just delicious !!

Ingredients :
2 cups mango puree ( I used 3 medium sized ripe Safeda mangoes)
2 cups flour/maida

1/2 cup butter (melted)
1/4 cup milk
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
pinch of salt
2 teaspoons oil ( for greasing, adjust)

slivered pistachios/pecans/almonds
Note : Before starting the following preparation, preheat the oven for 10 minutes at 160 degrees C. Also grease the baking pan/pans with oil.
Method :
1. In a mixer, puree the mango pulp, sugar and milk to a smooth consistency.
2. In a wide vessel/bowl, mix flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda using a fork or wire whisk.
3. Melt the butter in a pan and allow it to cool a bit.
4. Add the pureed mango-sugar mixture and butter to the flour mixture and whisk well using a ballon whisk so that there are no lumps.
Note : The consistency of the batter is semi- thick. When you drop the batter, it should flow smoothly and will form ribbons.
5. Transfer the batter to the greased baking tins.
Chef tip: Fill only upto 1/2 of the cake tin/vessel.
6. You can sprinkle pistachios or dry fruits of your choice ( optional) and bake the cake in the middle rack of the oven at 160 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
Chef tip : After 10 minutes , check if the top layer is browning. If so, cover with a foil and continue baking.
