🥭 Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup ripe mango puree
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• Optional: pinch of cinnamon, 1/4 cup chopped nuts or shredded coconut

🥮 Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Grease and flour a loaf pan or round cake pan to prevent sticking.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Set aside.
4. In a separate large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together using a hand mixer or whisk until the mixture is light and fluffy.
5. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and the mango puree until fully combined.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
7. Fold in chopped nuts or shredded coconut, if using, for added texture and flavor.Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top evenly.
8. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with dry crumbs.
9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove it and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing or decorating.

💭 Recipe Tips:

• Use ripe mangoes: Choose soft, sweet mangoes for the best flavor and texture. Ripe mangoes create a naturally sweet batter and help keep the cake moist without needing too much added sugar.
• Don’t overmix: Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing develops gluten in the flour, which can make the cake dense instead of soft and fluffy.
• Add citrus zest: A little lime or orange zest enhances the mango flavor and adds a refreshing citrus note. It balances the sweetness and gives the cake a tropical brightness.
• For topping: Finish the cake with a drizzle of mango glaze or a layer of cream cheese frosting. These toppings add richness and make the cake extra special for serving or gifting.
• Let cool fully: Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing. This helps it firm up for clean cuts and ensures the best flavor and texture when serving.
