Growing up in India, it's not a surprise that mangoes were always my favorite fruit. We use mangoes in so many recipes but never have I tried a mango cake recipe. So when I saw this vegan mango cake recipe in my friend's blog I was excited, to say the least.
It was a pretty straight forward recipe. No special ingredients or special equipment needed. I also had store bought mango puree at home readily available. All I had to do was mix the ingredients and whip up this gorgeous vegan mango cake.
Sometimes vegan baking and cooking call for specialty ingredients either for egg substitute and/or fat substitute. Interestingly this mango cake recipe doesn't use any such ingredients. Vegetable oil is used for the fat and the leavening agents baking powder and baking soda is good enough as egg substitutes and makes the cake rise without the use of eggs.
If you want to make it richer and don't mind not baking it vegan and just eggless mango cake, you can use melted butter instead of the avocado oil.
To make this eggless mango cake even more special exotic you can try adding some ground cardamom and saffron strands. That's what I'm going to incorporate while baking it the next time. Can't wait to bake this mango cake recipe again making these two additions.

Happy Blog anniversary Madhu! Cake looks very cute. I made a cake for the Wilton class with mango puree with the readymade cake mix instead of the water and it turned out great.

The cake looks really nice, I will probably substitute mango with some other fruit, though. You do sound really tired, hope things are fine at your end. Take care, Madhu!
