A light and fluffy cake made with the goodness of ripe mangoes, this Mango Cake is a sweet, tropical treat that’s perfect for any occasion. With just the right balance of sweetness and tang, it’s sure to be a hit!

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 8 slices

Ingredients

  • Ripe Mangoes – 2 medium-sized: Choose fresh, ripe mangoes for the best flavor. Peel, pit, and puree them for a smooth texture.
  • All-purpose Flour – 1 1/2 cups: Sift the flour to avoid lumps and ensure a light, fluffy cake texture.
  • Granulated Sugar – 3/4 cup: Adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of your mangoes. You can use less if preferred.
  • Baking Powder – 1 1/2 teaspoons: Make sure the baking powder is fresh for the cake to rise properly.
  • Eggs – 2 large: Use room temperature eggs for better consistency and easier mixing.
  • Unsalted Butter – 1/2 cup (softened): Let the butter soften at room temperature for easier blending into the batter.
  • Milk – 1/2 cup: Use whole milk for a richer, creamier cake texture. You can substitute with a plant-based option.
  • Vanilla Extract – 1 teaspoon: This adds a nice depth of flavor, balancing the sweetness of the mangoes.
  • Lemon Juice – 1 tablespoon: Fresh lemon juice will enhance the mango’s flavor and add a subtle tang.

 

  • Salt – 1/4 teaspoon: A pinch of salt helps bring out the sweetness of the mangoes and balances the flavors.

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix well after each addition.
  • Stir in the mango puree, milk, vanilla extract, and lemon juice, blending until smooth.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently to combine.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

 

  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For an extra mango flavor, top the cake with fresh mango slices or a mango glaze.

 

  • If you don’t have whole milk, you can substitute with a plant-based milk such as almond or coconut milk.
