Eggless Mango Cake

It is said that 'Mango' is the king of fruits and it is so true. It is an excellent source of Vitamin A and Potassium. So I thought of using this healthy fruit in baking a cake and trust me the cake turned out so tasty.

Ingredients:
One cup of fresh mango puree
One cup of All Purpose Flour
A dash of salt
1/4 cup of Olive oil
1/2 cup of sugar
One n a half tbsp of Baking Powder
A tsp of mango essence (optional)
A tbsp of castor sugar for dusting the cake once it is baked

Method:
Peel the mangoes (i used two mangoes for one cup of mango puree) and puree the pulp to a smooth consistency.
Take a bowl and add the flour, baking powder, salt and mix well.
Add the mango puree, sugar and oil to the flour and mix gently. Do not over beat the batter.
Now pour the batter into a well greased cake dish and bake it in a preheated oven at 180 deg C for 30 minutes or until a skewer inserted at the centre comes out clean.
Once it is done, cool it for sometime and dust the top with castor sugar.
You can serve the cake with a slice of fresh mango.
