This fresh, soft, delicious Mango Cake is easy to make and may be guilt free (eggless and butterless)!!

Recipe Source: Sharmis passions

Ingredients:

All purpose flour - 1 cup
White Rava / Semolina (fine variety) - ½ cup
Mango - 1 big sized
Granulated Sugar - ¾ cup (Powdered)
Curd / Yogurt - ¼ cup
Olive oil - 2 tbsp
Baking soda - ½ tsp
Baking powder - 1 tsp
Salt - a pinch
Cardamom powder - ½ tsp
Choco chips - 2 tbsp

Directions:

Preheat oven to 180 deg C; also prepare your loaf tin (grease with butter / oil and dust it with all purpose flour) and keep aside.

Peel the skin and chop the mangoes; puree it without water. Keep aside.

Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; mix in the rava / Semolina and keep aside.

In a separate bowl add oil, yogurt, mango pulp, cardamom powder and sugar and blend until it is mixed well. 

Mix the dry ingredients into wet mixture and beat on medium speed until mixed thoroughly. Stir in the choco chips (reserve some for topping).

Pour the batter into the greased loaf tin and bake on preheated oven at 180 deg C for 30 – 35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of a cake comes out clean. 

Remove from oven and allow to cool completely. 

Once it is cooled completely, remove loaf bread / cake from the pan to Slice and Serve.

Don't keep it for more than 2 days, since mango pulp is used; of course, it tastes so good that it will finish much quickly, as it happened to me!!!!

Note:

There is no need to roast the rava / Semolina.

If you don't want to add rava / semolina to the cake, just skip that step (increase the quantity of all purpose flour to 1½ cup) and go ahead with the process.

Mango and cardamom combination is heavenly, so don't skip it.

Instead of chocolate chip you can use chopped walnuts (Walnuts are actually used in the original recipe; I changed it to Choco Chip as it suits my kids better!)

I am sending this recipe to Sowmya's page and Gayathri's page for the event  for Walk Through Memory Lane.
