Mango Mania - Vegan Whole Wheat Mango Cake



Even though my house hold is gluten free and I am moving more towards Almond flour for all baking needs. I do get requests to make certain cakes from my other  family members and this is one of the cake which I made for my Parents couple of weeks before I went on vacation.  Very easy to make and was liked by everybody for whom I made this. So if you are not on a gluten free, grain free diet do try this out.  I am sure you will like this.


Ingredients


Whole Wheat Flour - 1 1/2 Cups
Mango Puree/ Pulp home made - 1 Cup
Raw Sugar - 1 Cup
Sunflower Oil - 1/2 Cup
Baking Powder - 1 Tsp
Baking Soda - 1/2 Tsp
Apple Cider Vinegar - 1 Tbsp
Salt - 1/4 Tsp
Cardamom powder - 1/2 Tsp
Nuts - Handful


Method


1) Sieve and combine the dry ingredients Whole wheat flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and keep this aside.


2) In a wide bowl add the mango puree, raw sugar, sunflower oil and combine thoroughly with a whisk.


3) Preheat a oven to 350 Degrees Fahrenheit and grease and flour a 8 * 4 baking pan.


4) To the wet ingredients add all the dry ingredients and using a spatula fold the batter without over mixing other wise the cake will be very hard. Now add the apple cider vinegar and combine thoroughly one more time.


5) Pour in the baking pan, top with the handful of nuts and bake for 35-40 minutes till a tooth pick inserted at the center comes out clean.


6) Cool in a wire rack and slice once cooled completely.
