This Vegan Mango Cake is bright in both color and flavor!
The cake is made with 600g of sweet mango, so this is for all you mango lovers! It is easy to make and really moist and delicious. No one I served it too believes me when I say there is no butter, only a little coconut oil. All the flavor and moisture comes from the mango puree.
I used frozen mango, but you can also use fresh. All you do to make a simple mango pure is to place it in the blender!
The lime juice in this cake adds a nice freshness and enhances the mango flavor.
Ingredients you need to make this Vegan Mango Cake:
- All purpose flour, I highly suggest using weight when you are baking, it is way more accurate and easier to use.
- Sugar, caster sugar preferably organic
- A mix of baking powder and baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- Turmeric, this is optional but ads a wonderful color and a hint of flavour
- Mango, fresh or frozen can be used here. If you are using frozen mango, be sure to defrost it first
- Coconut oil, melted
- Vanilla paste or vanilla bean powder, I love to use the paste or powder for the flavour but also for those little specks of vanilla bean. You can also substitute for vanilla extract.
- Lime, fresh squeezed juice, goes so well with the mango flavour for a hint of freshness
