Mango Cake!

Every time on Mother’s Day, I like to order cake of my Mom’s choice (even if we are miles away) which became as a tradition more than a trend, but this day was different…basically quarantined at home and I wanted to bake something this time too without breaking the tradition! :)

I know sponge cake recipes are very common baked recipes and sometimes are just made with vanilla flavour, I wanted to try a different flavour which is also one of my Mom’s favourite - Mango cake, made with generous amount of mango purée.

I had never baked Mango cake or was any interested until a couple of weeks ago when I heard about it and I was trying to figure out what to bake with what we had in the house and is easily available during this time.. and I landed on Mango cake (I tried Genoise cake, a sponge cake called in Italy/France, which is more moist and tender than its ‘sponge cake cousin’)

I try to be novice anytime I learn something new and I can’t take any credit for this either, I like to google until I find a recipe that has a good ratings, plus if I can toss the ingredients with healthy ingredients (if possible) and if they are pretty much handy at home as well.

I used this recipe from chefinyou.com plus milk and wheat flour (instead of all purpose flour).

It was simple and turned out to be delicious! Wish we could share some over ‘facetime’!!😉

Anything special you did on Mother’s Day? Have you ever tried Mango cake before?
