Savor the taste of summer with our delectable mango cake. Moist layers of mango-infused sponge, filled with juicy diced mangoes, create a tropical symphony of flavors. Topped with a luscious whipped cream frosting, this cake is a delightful celebration of the beloved mango fruit.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/2 cup buttermilk

  • 1 1/2 cups ripe mango puree (from about 2-3 medium-sized mangoes)

  • 1/2 cup diced mangoes (for filling and garnish)

  • Whipped cream or frosting (optional, for serving)

  • Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Directions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the flour mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Gently fold in the mango puree until well incorporated.
  • Pour half of the batter into the prepared cake pan. Sprinkle the diced mangoes evenly over the batter. Pour the remaining batter on top, covering the diced mangoes.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  • Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Once the cake has cooled, you can frost it with whipped cream or your favorite frosting, if desired.
  • Garnish the cake with additional diced mangoes and fresh mint leaves for an extra touch.
    Slice and serve the mango cake to enjoy!

Notes

  • If you prefer a sweeter cake, you can add a bit more granulated sugar to the batter. Also, make sure to adjust the baking time if you’re using a different cake pan size or if your oven runs hotter or cooler.
  • Enjoy your delicious mango cake!

Can I use frozen mangoes instead of fresh mangoes?

Yes, you can use frozen mangoes to make mango puree for the cake. Just thaw the mangoes before blending them into a puree.

Can I use a different type of frosting for mango cake?

Yes, you can experiment with different frostings. Cream cheese frosting or whipped cream frosting can be a delicious choice for mango cake. Alternatively, you can also use a simple dusting of powdered sugar or serve the cake without frosting.
