Notes
Using Alphonso mango pulp provides the most vibrant and authentic tropical flavor.
Ensure the eggs and yogurt are at room temperature to ensure a smooth batter consistency.
Be careful not to overmix the batter after adding the flour to maintain a soft and light texture.
If using fresh mangoes puree them until silky smooth and strain if the fruit is particularly fibrous.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for two days or in the fridge for up to five.
This cake pairs beautifully with a cup of black tea or a dollop of tangy cream cheese frosting.
