Since I was out of eggs, I started searching for eggless mango cakes. Quite a few popped up and most had some other ingredient that I didn’t have either – like sour cream or buttermilk. Then I saw this vegan mango cake recipe in Holy Cow Vegan and decided this is it! A cake flavoured with mango and cardamom, what’s not to love, eh? I’ve always wanted to take an artistic shot like this. Since I don’t use a tripod, it was tricky. Shaking the sieve with my left hand and holding camera and clicking with the right (all the while fearing that the camera would fall and the lens would break shudder) Vegan Mango Bundt Cake Recipe Serves 10 Adapted from: Holy Cow Vegan Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour 2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp cardamom powder Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350F / 180C.
  2. In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt and cardamom powder well together.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the mango puree, oil, sugar and vanilla until well combined. Add this to the flour mixture and fold until there are no traces of flour left. Don’t overmix, just use your hand whisk or a silicon spatula to do this.
  4. Transfer to a a greased bundt pan and bake in the pre-heated oven until the cake is cooked through and a skewer passed through it comes out with a few crumbs in the end. It took my cake about 40 mins to reach this stage. Transfer to a cooling rack, dust with some icing sugar and serve warm or at room temperature with some mango puree drizzled over it if you’d like. Notes: – Although this cake came out just fine, I realised that I am not a fan of eggless cakes using oil as a substitute. I think the mental image that this piece of cake has oil in it turns me off. Although for this mango cake, the flavour of oil was at a minimum, I would just add 1/2 a cup of melted butter next time when I try it. Of course, then it will no longer be vegan. – If you don’t have fresh ripe mangoes in stock, just use canned mango puree. Works just as fine too. Also, HUGE thanks to Sakshi for the super cute cake stand she gifted me while we met and roamed around the Bay Area and SFO. You the best!
