Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Peel and pit the mangoes. Puree the mango flesh in a blender or food processor until smooth. You should have about 1 cup of mango puree.
In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat the granulated sugar and canola oil together until well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time to the sugar and oil mixture, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract and the mango puree into the wet ingredients, mixing until smooth.
Fold in the sifted dry ingredients into the mango mixture, alternating with the Greek yogurt. Begin and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
