Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Ripe mango, pureed
- 1 tablespoon Lime zest
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.25 cup Whole milk
- 0.75 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easier removal later.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition.
Mix in the mango puree, lime zest, and lime juice until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three batches, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cake cools, prepare the lime glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and lime juice until smooth and pourable.
Once the cake has cooled completely, drizzle the lime glaze over the top, letting it drip down the sides.
Slice and serve the Mango Lime Cake as is, or garnish with additional lime zest or diced mango for extra flair. Enjoy!
