COMPONENTS OF THE CAKE

The Cake: the cake sponge is made with fresh mango puree, sweetened with condensed milk and flavored with a few drops of mango essence. The sponge is moist, sweet and delicious on its own but just a little effort and you could change this moist cake into a mango delight. In this cake I have soaked the sponge with some mango juice to moisten it and this really makes the flavor of the mango pop.

Filling: I made the filling of the mango cake with some mango puree and condensed milk. I took some puree added the condensed milk in it and cooked it till it was nice and Jammy. This made the best filling for the cake and complimented the whole cake really well.

Frosting: I frosted the cake with some white chocolate ganache that was flavored with malt powder, I used the /original/ malt/white Ovaltine and if you don’t have Ovaltine then you could use the original/malt/ white Horlicks. The Ovaltine is added in the cream till it completely dissolves and is then poured over the white chocolate to melt it and voila! your perfect white chocolate malt ganache is ready.

Topping: it’s topped with fresh mango slices and then chilled in the fridge for the flavors to develop.

INGREDIENTS USED IN THE BEST EGGLESS MANGO CAKE

I make this simple eggless mango cake with pantry staple ingredients, first the dry ingredients all-purpose flour, the baking powder, baking soda are mixed well together. For the wet ingredients I use the melted butter, condensed milk, essence, the colour and the mango puree which makes the cake yum and then I add the milk to make a nice batter. The filling I have used is a jammy version of the mango made with condensed milk and mango puree. The whole cake comes together with an icing of white chocolate malt ganache, which is just incredible.

The icing for the cake is made by heating the milk and then adding the malt powder till it dissolves then the hot milk is added to the chopped white chocolate till the white chocolate melts and a nice smooth ganache is made.

To ensure a moist but not dense cake, avoid overmixing the batter. Mix until just combined to prevent the development of gluten, which can make the cake tough. Also, dont overbake the cake which can result in a dry and crumbly cake.

How do I store an eggless mango cake?

Once the cake has cooled completely, you can store it in the refrigerator for 3 or 4 days. I wouldn’t recommend keeping the cake in room temperature in the Indian heat, but you could keep it out for an hour before you decide to slice it. Also, this doesn’t freeze well with all the fresh fruit it has in it so consume within 3 or 4 days.

Yes, you can prepare the eggless mango cake a day in advance. Just make sure to store it properly in the refrigerator, especially if you’re using fresh fruit and puree. Allow the cake to come to room temperature before serving for the best taste and texture.
