Mango Cake is a quite delicious, moist, and flavorful tea cake_This moist, the mango-pound cake needs nothing more than a glazing of confectioner's sugar to set off along with a sprinkle over some dry fruit powder. With a rich tropical mango taste this easy cake is an excellent dessert to keep in mind when you have a houseful of guests

Such cakes can be served for an informal dessert course and are even great for tea-time snacking or a family brunch.

I especially love the fact that I can simply wrap the leftovers in plastic wrap and savor a slice with tea the next day. Trust me, on contrary to box-mix, or artificially flavored cakes....... fresh fruit-based cakes taste even better the next day. Pound cakes are mostly served dusted with powdered sugar or mixed dry fruits powder One reason because these cakes are so rich and moist, that icing or frosting is not required

I have used a little amount of dairy milk to make mango puree instead of water and also milk brings a rich and moist texture to the cake by adding fresh fruit puree _this mango cake is made up of all-purpose flour, eggs, oil, mango puree, sugar, and baking powder

Additionally, I whisked egg white separately as mostly fresh fruit pulp or juices may cause the fell down cake during baking and the stiff peak of egg white prevent to cake falling from center

I didn’t use any additional ingredients which usually, aren't added in making the cake, like coconut milk, coconut oil, etc just used regular and simple ingredients and the outcome has been superb as I wanted

Recipe tips:

Flour, in my opinion, all-purpose flour is the best for making the cake as I have never experienced making a cake with cake flour, so I won’t suggest it but if you have it available then can be used without any hesitating
People complain their cake becomes dense and results in worst when they make a cake with all-purpose flour here I will just say they made a mistake in measuring of cake ingredients-I have also mentioned several times good baking depends on acute measuring, and I will strictly recommend using a kitchen scale instead of cups as long as I have been using cups my baking result has never been good_so if you are fond of baking first buy a good brand kitchen scale for your keen
You will see in the below picture of my cake the mixture is so light and fluffy this is the reason my cake result was awesome
Eggs, eggs have an important role in making a cake which makes your cake soft and light, so here I used 3 large-size eggs in 150g flour that is good enough for 150g flour_in case you are vegetarian and don’t use egg so you can use greek yogurt or condensed milk as a substitute for eggs
Oil, cooking oil is used in most fresh fruit cakes instead of butter which helps the cake keep stay moist and soft for a long time
Using vegetable oil, such as canola oil for baking can help prevent a dry cake and you will find it as an ingredient in many recipes, as well as a staple for boxed cake mixes.
Best Oil for Baking:
Canola oil has very little flavor, particularly when used in baked goods. It is considered a neutral-tasting oil and will allow the flavor of your cake to shine through. Any flavor of cake, from chocolate and vanilla to fresh fruit and spice works well with canola oil.
Mango, Make sure first use good ripe and sweet mangos, don’t use green and low sweet mangoes, those won’t make a good cake
Pulp quantity, fresh fruit pulp quantity whether you are using whatever fruit pulp should be 1/3 than flour quantity, more pulp may cake turns soggy rather than moist, puree should be smooth like a pancake the batter, not runny or too thick
Milk, I used full-fat cream dairy milk in making a cake but as a substitute can be used evaporated milk or dry milk powder. To replace 1 cup of regular milk, use 1/2 cup evaporated milk mixed with 1/2 cup water, or make the equivalent of 1 cup of milk using the dried milk powder, as well as you can use coconut milk rather than dairy milk if you prefer to eat vegan foods

Baking powder and baking powder, Both baking powder and baking soda are chemical leavening agents that cause batters to rise when baked. The leavener enlarges the bubbles which are already present in the batter produced through the creaming of ingredients. When a recipe contains baking powder and baking soda, baking powder does most of the leavening.
Too much baking powder can cause the batter to be bitter tasting. It can also cause the batter to rise rapidly and then collapse. (i.e. The air bubbles in the batter grow too large and break causing the batter to fall.) Cakes will have a coarse, fragile crumb with a fallen center. Too little baking powder results in a tough cake that has poor volume and a compact crumb.
Essence and food color, mango essence is an agent of removing the egg smell from the mixture, but if you haven’t then can be used vanilla essence instead of it
Yellow food color brings yellowish color as per recipe requirement depending on how much you want to keep the color
Cake batter, the batter should be like pouring consistency but not too runny it like a condensed milk or pancake batter

Recipe note:
All using ingredients making cake should be at room temperature
Tips for beating egg whites:

Make sure your beaters and mixing bowl are clean and dry. A speck of oil or dirt on either one can minimize the volume of the beaten egg whites.
Avoid metal bowls -- even clean ones may hold oily residue that can affect the beating quality of the egg whites.
Use a bowl that's wide enough to keep the beaters from being buried in the egg whites.
Do not overbeat or under beat egg whites -- your cake may fall. Egg whites should be stiff but not dry
