Notes
I have tried this cake with both fresh and canned mango puree. I use Mexican Atulfa mangoes for fresh puree and canned kesar or Alphonso mango puree that you readily get in Indian stores. The old photos that you see below is made with fresh mango puree. The updated version is with canned mango puree. It works both ways. Use ¾ i.e ( three quarter ) cup sugar in total if using fresh mango puree as canned puree already includes sugar. Use granulated sugar of your choice. Make sure it melts completely with liquid ingredients before whipping it with dry ones. Bake time varies according to the pan size and shape used. Bake time for 9 * 5 " loaf pan is 40- 45 minutes . ( refer old photos - previous bake - towards the end of the post ) This time I baked mango marble cake using 7.75*3.75" pan . Bake time for 7.75" * 3.75" * 2.75" cake pan is 60-70 minutes. ( refer to new photos )You can bake it in two 6 " or one 8" cake pans which will take 30-35 minutes to bake.Bake time for standard size cupcakes is between 15-20 minutes .I have used oil for more moistness , you may use melted butter. Adding nuts is optional.You may skip the chocolate layer and just make it as a mango loaf cake.How to turn it into vegan marble cake - Substitute canned mango puree with fresh ripe mango puree ( sweet and not sour mangoes ) Use vegan chocolate chips and vegan milk for chocolate layer.Other cake recipes that you will love-Eggless Fresh Strawberry Cake with cream cheese frostingEggless mango cakeHomemade cherry cake – vegan poke cake
