EGGLESS MANGO CAKE


Very recently a Mango feast was going on around, truly inviting posts by my fellow bloggers. A wish inside grew since then to post a recipe using mango. I thoroughly enjoyed all the innovations they brought in their dishes using mangoes; loved the traditional recipes of Mango chutney or pickles too. Back home, Mango is the king of all fruits and all of us do treat and eat it royally.

The other day mom was saying the mango tree at my parent's place has boar a lot of mangoes this season. She was sad naturally because we are not visiting India this summer. This post may be to show her and off course console her saying "Mani we get it here and eat it too." Though we do not get that variety or taste as we used to back home, I never tell it to her. It all depends upon how we adapt to a place, and appreciate it's advantages. We get best quality watermelons here which is not the case back home.

I prepared this Eggless Mango Cake for my visiting childhood friends, perhaps to make our memory sweeter. They liked it, hope others too will. Okay, one of the two friends is not a sweet lover. Let us proceed with the recipe which has a good amount of pureed mango in it. The original recipe I found in Google Search and modified a bit according to the ingredients available in my pantry.


INGREDIENTS :

All Purpose Flour : 1 coffee cup

Fresh Pureed Mango : 1 coffee mug
Baking Powder : 1 tsp
Baking Soda : 1/4  tsp
Vinegar : 1 tbsp
Yogurt : 3-4 tbsp
Sugar : 1/2 small tea cup
Oil : 1/2 small tea cup
Vanilla Essence : 1 tsp 

METHOD :
Preheat the oven to 180*C. I use a mini toaster oven!

Sieve together the all purpose flour, baking powder.

In a blender,  beat together the sugar, oil, pulp of 2 mangoes, plain yogurt, vinegar for some 2 minutes!

Sieve together the all purpose flour, baking powder & baking soda!

Add the flour mix little by little and fold in well.

Add the vanilla essence and beat again everything well.

                  
Pour the batter in a greased cake tin and bake for 40 minutes at 180*C. Once cool gently turn over on a plate, then again! Have it warm or refrigerate the excess! 40 minutes was the time taken in my mini toaster oven!
