Eggless Mango Semolina Cake

Everyone’s favourite Mango is here so why not make the most of the mango season with this easy and delectable Mango Cake!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of Semolina/Rava/Sooji ( I used the fine variety)
• 1 cup Mango pulp
• ¼ cup oil- Any flavorless oil
• ¾ cup Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• ½ tsp ground cardamom (optional)
• ¼ cup chopped nuts for garnish, I used pistachios because they add a nice color and texture (optional)

Instructions:

• Pre-heat the oven to 170 degrees C.
• Mix the semolina with sugar, cardamom and baking powder.
• Next, add oil and mix well. Finally add the mango pulp and mix again. Let it sit for 15 minutes.
• Pour the batter in a greased pan and garnish with nuts of your choice.
• Place in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Keep a close watch after 25 minutes, if it starts browning too quickly, lower the temperature a bit.
• Check with a toothpick in the center of the cake to see if properly baked. If it comes out clean, then remove immediately. If it is kept for a longer time, the cake will develop a crust on the top.
• Allow to cool completely and then cut and serve.

Note:

• Use the best quality mango pulp you can find! The final color of your cake also depends on this
• Ensure that the mango pulp is thick and not too watery. I added one big spoon of fresh cream from milk and also added few strands of Kesar.
