How to make eggless mango cake

Bake the cake:

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper. Set it aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine one cup of mango puree, sugar, melted butter, whisked yogurt, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.

Step 2: Place a sieve on top of the large bowl making sure it does not touch the mango mixture. Add all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, cardamom powder, and salt. Sift the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.

Step 3: Mix until they are just combined and there are no dry bits of flour. Take care not to overmix the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Tap the pan on the counter to remove any air pockets.

Step 4: Bake in preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack.

Make the glaze:

Step 5: In a small mixing bowl, combine icing sugar and mango puree. Whisk well until the mixture becomes smooth and has a pouring consistency. You can add one tablespoon of lemon juice as an optional ingredient to make the glaze.

Step 6: Drizzle the mango and sugar syrup in the center of the cake as well as the edges of the cake. Garnish mango cake with pistachio and dried rose petals.

Useful tips

I have used canned puree made of Alphonso mangoes in my recipe which is easily available in Indian grocery stores. However, puree of other mango varieties can also be used.

Take care not to overmix the batter as this will make the cake flat.

Canned mango puree usually has sugar added to it. Adjust the sugar depending on the sweetness of the pulp.

Bring all the ingredients to room temperature before you start making the cake batter. Also, it is important to cool the bake completely before adding glaze.

Use a weighing scale where possible. If you are measuring using a standard measuring cup, do not scoop the flour directly into the cup. Spoon the flour into the cup, level with the back of a knife, and then use it to make the cake batter.

If you use fresh mango to make the puree, make sure to sieve it to remove any fibers to ensure a smooth and consistent texture in the cake batter.

You can replace the flour and cornstarch in this mango cake recipe with cake flour. However, cake flour absorbs less liquid than all-purpose flour, so you may need to adjust the amount of mango puree you add to the batter to achieve the desired consistency.
