I had some left over mango pulp after making my mango mousse cake so as I was wondering if I should just eat it or if I can make something with it, I came across this recipe and tried it out. This cake is absolutely gorgeous! So soft and moist and delicious!
Have you seen Peppa Pig (the cartoon) where Mummy Pig eats Granny Pig's apple and blackberry crumble and relishes it so much?! I felt like that! (My daughter's obsession with peppa pig is rubbing off on me!)
Anyway, I have baked some mango cakes before, like the eggless mango cake and mango marble cake but this microwave cake was the softest of them all! I could not believe how moist and soft this was!

As I was eating, I felt a little guilty that I was eating it without my husband (who was at work) so I left some in the refrigerator. After 9 hours, when my husband came home, I re heated the cake in the microwave for 90 seconds and it became just as soft and moist as before! This is an awesome recipe!
You can make this in a single microwave safe bowl or mug.

Ingredients - Serves 2
Until next time,

- Instant Microwave Brownie (no eggs & no butter)
- Instant Microwave Carrot Cake (no eggs & no butter)
- Instant Mcrowave Fruit Cake (no eggs & no butter)
- Instant Microwave Banana Bread (no butter)
- 1 minute eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies (no butter)
Ingredients - Serves 2
- All purpose flour/maida - 4 tbsp
- Sugar - 4 tbsp
- Baking powder - 1/2 tsp
- Baking soda - 1/4 tsp
- Mango puree - 3 tbsp
- Oil - 1 tbsp
- Milk - 4 tbsp
- Vanilla extract - 1/8 tsp (few drops)
- Chocolate chips / nuts - 2 to 3 tbsp
Method
1. In a microwave safe bowl, add all the wet ingredients - the milk, oil, vanilla and mango pulp.
2. Add the dry ingredients - the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt.
3. Mix everything well until it becomes a homogeneous mix. Add chocolate chips or nuts.
4. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. I stopped the microwave at 60 seconds and checked if it's done. Then checked again at 90 seconds, it was a little wet so left for another 30 seconds.
5. Enjoy delicious and insanely soft mango cake!
Notes
1. Do not over bake. If you over bake, the cake will be rubbery.
2. Every microwave is different. Mine is 900 watts. I kept for 2 mins on high. Adjust the timings accordingly.
3. Check after 90 seconds, if it's done.
4. I used 4 tbsp of granulated sugar but pulsed it in the blender so it will dissolve easily.
5. If it's not done in 2 minutes, leave it for another 10 seconds.
6. You can use any other fruit puree other than mango too.
7. Do not over mix. Fold gently. Mixing too much can make the cake hard.
8. Do not add too much mango pulp. Add only 3 level tbsp of mango pulp. If you add too much, the cake will get soggy.

ReplyDeleteCan this be made in an otg ...if yes can u pls help with temp nd time
ReplyDeleteHi, I have never baked this one in an OTG, so I don't know about temp and time. However, there are other mango cakes in my blog, which are baked. You can check that out.
Deletelove the texture,yummy!!
ReplyDeleteQuick and delicious mango cake!
ReplyDeletenice colour and texture, looks awesome..

ReplyDeletecan we use butter instead of oil?
ReplyDeleteYes you can but oil makes it more moist.

ReplyDeleteThanks all!
ReplyDeleteHi, i was thinking of trying this out..my MW doesn't have convection...can i still make this cake in the MW?
ReplyDeleteYes you can. This is a microwave recipe only, does not need a convection mode for this recipe.
DeleteThank you so much for trying and sharing here ! This MW mango cake is my fav, really a soft,delicious and moist cake...glad you liked it. Thanks for referring my site !!
ReplyDeleteyummy and quick
ReplyDeleteCan I skip Vanilla extract will that make a difference to Softness?
ReplyDeleteYes you can skip it.
DeleteCan I increase the quantity in ratios and bake in 8" pan.
ReplyDeleteYou mean in a microwave? You can try but I would suggest try the small recipe first before doubling it.
DeleteCan I use fruiti or maaza instead of mango puree.
ReplyDeleteNo you cannot use frooty or maaza
DeleteI dont have baking soda. I have only the baking powder. Any ideas? ?
ReplyDeleteOh My God! My kitchen is a complete mess, I'd just cleaned it. As end result I have two blobs of leathery stuff with uncooked liquid in the middle. I tried mixing and re-microwaving to no avail. It tastes like uncooked flour. I don't get it... I respected the proportions and ingredients except for the chocolate - I used chopped nuts. I made it twice thinking the container was no good but nope, same mess. I just wasted the best mango on Earth :(( That should teach me a lesson never to attempt cooking fruits.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe though, just sorry it didn't work for me.
Maybe it was because I used fresh mango and not store bought mango puree?
DeleteSorry it didn't work for you! This is a very simple recipe that I've made many times and I've had many good feedback for this cake so I know it's not the recipe. I do a lot of bakes with fruits and vegetables and it comes out good. Try some other fruit recipe, I'm sure you'll love it!
DeleteYou know, if the bowl is small, it tends to overflow or maybe the baking soda and powder were a bit off.
