Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh mango puree (from ripe mangoes)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- Whipped cream for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a round cake pan.
- Prepare Mango Puree: Peel and dice ripe mangoes. Blend until smooth to make one cup of puree.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In another bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated. Add vanilla extract and mix well.
- Combine with Mango Puree: Stir the mango puree into the butter mixture until fully combined.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
- Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure mangoes are ripe for the best flavor and sweetness.
- Folding in the dry ingredients gently helps maintain a light texture.
- For an extra mango flavor boost, add small mango chunks to the batter.
- Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of fresh mango pieces for serving.
