Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Ripe mangoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a blender or food processor, puree the mangoes until smooth. Measure out 2 cups of mango puree and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer on medium speed until frothy. Add in the vanilla extract, vegetable oil, and the unsweetened applesauce. Mix well.
Fold in the mango puree into the wet mixture until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just blended. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Optional: Garnish with fresh slices of mango or a dusting of cinnamon before serving.
