Ingredients
Scale
315 g all-purpose flour
200 g granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3 large eggs
120 ml vegetable oil
240 ml milk or coconut milk
240 ml mango puree
150 g fresh mango, diced
1 tsp vanilla extract
120 g Greek yogurt (optional)
1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment for easy release. Having your ingredients measured and ready ensures a smooth bake without delays.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly distributed. Sift if you have a sifter; this helps keep the crumb light and uniform.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with the oil, milk, mango puree, vanilla, and yogurt if using. The yogurt adds moisture and a touch of tang that complements the mango sweetness.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. A few lumps are okay; overmixing can make the cake dense.
- Gently fold in the diced mango and, if using, shredded coconut or chopped pistachios. The fruit pieces will burst with bright mango flavor as the cake bakes.
- Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40–45 minutes. The center should spring back lightly when touched, and a toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs. If the center looks loose, give it extra 5-minute intervals until set.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. If you like, dust with a fine drizzle of mango glaze or serve with a dollop of yogurt for a creamy finish.
- A light mango glaze made from mango puree and a touch of powdered sugar adds shine without overpowering the fruit flavor. For a richer finish, top with a cream cheese frosting lightly flavored with vanilla and a hint of lime zest.
