Flour — The base ingredient for our cake, use fresh all-purpose flour for best results. Baking powder/ Baking soda — These are the leavening agents that aerate the cake batter to create the fluffiest cake and lend a velvety texture to it. Salt — The all-sweet cake needs to be balanced for sweetness, and a pinch of salt does just that. In doing so, it also lifts the flavors of the other ingredients used in the recipe. Sugar — The sweetening agent that lends perfect sweetness and flavor to our Mango cake. Mango purée — Adds moisture, flavor, and color to the cake. Buttermilk — Lends moistness and richness to our delicious cake. It also helps the batter to rise well. Essence — Mango essence brings a more intense fruit flavor to the cake recipe. Cream — Heavy whipped cream makes the best frosting to layer and decorates the cake that looks so tempting! Cornstarch — Brings tenderness to the cake besides making it lighter and creating a softer crumb. Yellow color — Yellow food color lends a beautiful color to the recipe, making it look attractive and completely irresistible!
Mix wet ingredients — Combine sugar, buttermilk, oil, and mango essence in a stand mixer bowl. Beat this mixture at high speed until they are thoroughly combined. Combine wet and dry ingredients — Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix the dry ingredients until just combined. Add Mango purée and mix until fully incorporated into the batter. Let the cake cool down before unmolding — Allow the eggless mango cake to cool in the pan. The cake is easier to unmold when it has completely cooled, as it leaves the greased pan quickly. So, always wait till your cake has cooled down. Carefully unmold the cooled cake onto a clean plate.
Layer the mango cake with mango purée and whipped cream. Invert the whipped cream frosted layer (upside down) on top of the mango layer. Repeat the same with the other layer. Now, apply a thin layer of frosting to the top and sides of the cake with a spatula. Smoothen it out and cover the entire cake. Pipe a star design all around the top and side of your cake. Add a fun touch by placing some mango scoops on the top. This beautiful eggless mango cake makes a delicious treat for your sweet appetite.
The yellow color may be misleading — Selecting the right mangoes is essential when making this yellow beauty. The yellow color of the mangoes is not always a surety for the ripe fruit. Watch out for the perfectly ripe mangoes that yield to slight pressure and have a seducing sweet fragrance. To save time — You can use the store-bought mango purée for this recipe to save time. It also makes a great alternative to the homemade mango purée. Do not dilute — Diluting the mango purée will ruin its flavor and texture and will not yield the perfect recipe. So, refrain from adding water and let the purée be thick and creamy. Correct measurement is essential — For a perfectly baked cake, measuring the ingredients correctly is very important. Incorrect measurements will completely ruin the recipe. Use fresh ingredients — Using fresh ingredients is the key to a perfectly baked cake. Stale or old ingredients will alter their flavor and texture. For example, stale baking powder/ baking soda will not help the eggless mango cake rise and will not yield the desired results. For an effortless blending of ingredients — Always use the ingredients at room temperature when mixing into the cake batter as they blend well with each other at similar temperatures. Bring the cool ingredients to room temperature before combining them. Over-mixing is not recommended — Mixing the batter is essential for aerating the batter, which helps in the proper rising of the cake. But, over-mixing should be avoided, as this will over aerate the cake batter mix and turn the cake dense and chewy when baked! Mix the ingredients until they are just well combined to let a sufficient amount of air get trapped for expanding. Both oil and butter work well — Butter lends a more buttery, rich, and creamy texture and taste, so you can use it if you prefer. Use unsalted butter for best results. If you’re using the salted butter, skip adding salt. Oil makes light cakes that also stay soft when refrigerated. You may use either; it’s a personal choice. Verifying doneness — A simple toothpick test confirms the doneness of the cake. For this, insert a toothpick or a wooden skewer in the middle of the cake. A clean and dry toothpick coming out of the mango cake confirms that the cake is made; else, give it a few more moments in the oven. Leave space in the pan for rising — Do not fill the cake pan to the brim as it will not be left with any room to rise, and the batter will overflow. Give resting time before unmolding — It is easier to unmold the eggless mango cake when it has completely cooled, as it leaves the greased sides of the pan properly. The cake may stick to the pan and break if it is still warm. Frosting or no frosting — This recipe for Mango cake is complete in itself and tastes just divine even without the frosting. However, if you want to frost for extra glamour, you can decorate the cake with homemade frosting, just like I have done. This Eggless Mango Cake is fit for all occasions, and you can dig into it anytime when you want to satiate your soul’s craving for a sensational sweet dessert.
