Eggless Mango Cake / Mango Loaf Bread
I wanted to utilise the mango season completely and no mango recipe collection is complete with a mango cake...Agree?! I have seen mango cakes, muffins and bread in so many blogs and when I wanted to try I went ahead searching for them. The one that suited my constraints(Yes I wanted a low fat version) was the mango banana bread from litebite. I am always amazed by her low fat baking goodies that I went ahead to try this with few modifications to suit my taste and it turned out super good.

- Maida - 1 cup (150 gms)
- White Rava(fine variety) - 1/2 cup (100 gms)
- Mango - 1 big sized
- Walnuts chopped - 2 tbsp
- Granulated Sugar - 3/4 cup (200 gms)
- Curd - 1/4 cup (60 ml)
- Olive oil - 2 tbsp
- Baking soda - 1/2 tsp
- Baking powder - 1 tsp
- Salt - a pinch
- Cardamom powder - 1/2 tsp

Method:
- Chop the mangoes and puree it without water to get a thick pulp. Keep aside.
- Sift maida, baking soda, baking powder and salt atleast twice for even spread of baking powder and soda.Now add rava to the maida mixture, keep aside.
- In a seperate bowl, add oil,yogurt, mango pulp, cardamom powder,sugar and mix well till sugar is completely dissolved.
- Now add the curd mango mixture to rava maida mixture slowly and mix until a thick batter is formed. Add chopped walnuts and mix once. Reserve 1 tbsp of walnuts for topping.
- Preheat the oven at 190 deg C for 10mins. Meanwhile grease the pan with little oil and sprinkle maida. Arrange butter paper if you use it(I use for most of the cake for easy unmoulding).
- Transfer the batter to the cake pan. Top the cake batter with remaining chopped walnuts and bake it for 35-40mins at 190 degree C.In my OTG it took exactly 40mins for the mango bread to get baked.
- The top would have turned to a golden brown color by this time. Check with a toothpick in the center of the cake and if it comes out clean then ur cake is done.Cool it for atleast 15mins before you unmould and slice them

My Notes:
- I used a bread loaf pan and 3 small tart moulds.You can use a normal cake pan but see to it that the pan is as big as to hold the batter only to 1/2 or slightly more than the pan .
- The baking time totally depends on the cake mould and the oven, usually my bread loaf pan takes a little longer so it took me 40mins. So keep an eye after 30mins and then extend baking time accordingly.
- The cake in the tart moulds were done in 20mins. Only the bread loaf pan took 40mins to complete.So if you are planning for muffins it will take just 20-30mins.
- Adding sooji gives a wonderful texture to the cake. Mango and cardamom combination is heavenly so dont skip it.
- The orginal recipe calls for only 1/2 cup sugar but I felt my mangoes were not that sweet so I used 3/4 cup and it was perfect.
- As the cake uses mango pulp, it keep well only for 2 days. Dont refrigerate the cake, as it would become hard.

Mango, curd and rava gives a wonderful texture to the cake/bread that the cake came out beyond my expectation that everyone loved it at home. The nutty crunch in every bite tasted out of the world...yummmy.

Making a blog post has become like one of my daily chores these days and I feel so much contented after making each new post and each comment I moderate justifies the hard work I put in for that post. Thank you readers :)

Recipe looks very delicious. Just a small info needed. Can I use the Upma variety rava here? Because the one which I see as fine variety rava is almost like flour. So please give your suggestion here.
@Anonymous : Yes you can use the one used for upma but the white variety....
mmm this sounds so delicious, i adore mango but have never had mango bread. About time this was changed i think!
Hai..I tried this Mango cake as cup cake and it came out well...But, only one problem...i find the texture of sooji in the cake...I used the idli rava...should I soak the rava in water for some time??
@Tamilmuhil : Thanks for trying and letting me know the feedback.It is the fine variety we used for kesari and upma but if you dont like the texture of rava then go ahead with full maida. No need to soak in water.
This recipe is so good…n’ the snaps look so gorgeous…i recently made some mango cake…really liked that too…will try this the next time arnd.

This recipe looks beautiful. I will try it when mangoes are back in circulation, surely. I was wondering, after the success with your other recipes, if you had a good sandwich bread recipe on your blog. But found only this. If you do make white/brown bread yourself, could you add it to your blog? Since i gave up my bread machine I haven't found the right recipe at all.

@Anandhi : Sure I have a long time dream to bake a bread...sure will post it once I am done with it :)
I love mangoes ..:) I'm drooling at your cake and wanna grab a slice right here:) I will try this definitely :)

hello, great recipe..some questions...can we use one cup of mango pulp instead of one mango?and can we use half cup of maida instead of using half a cup of fine sooji.how do the texture and tastes differs using half cup sooji and not using only plain flour for the recipe.which tastes better?using only plain flour or using 1 cup plain flour and half a cup of sooji....pls do answer .i want to try this great recipe soon.
@Anonymous : Yes you can replace mango with mango pulp but the quantity depends on the batter thickness(3/4 cup - 1 cup should do fine). Am not sure of how to explain the texture of the cake with sooji...but we liked it that way also the orginal recipe suggested it. You can try with full maida first if you are skeptical about the texture when sooji is added.Hope this helps!
Wonderful blog and healthy recipes.Thanks sharmi.
hello i jus tried ur mango cake receipe..but i hd a problem,...intially the cake rose well but when i removed it from oven it kind of settled back n became hard..dnt knw what went wrong..hope u cld help me.
@Swati : Oh..I'm not sure why it sinked, may be becos of the rising agent inactiveness?
